The Increasing Importance of the Subsea for Modern Military Operations
The subsea environment is rapidly becoming a critical theater of operations for modern military forces. This underwater realm presents unique challenges and risks driven by advances in technology, escalating geopolitical tensions, and the growing significance of subsea infrastructure.
Critical subsea infrastructure, such as communication cables and energy pipelines, plays an indispensable role in global communication and energy transport. However, these infrastructures are vulnerable to sabotage, espionage, and accidental damage. Ensuring the protection and rapid repair capabilities of these assets is crucial for maintaining national security.
comet-mcm
MAN PORTABLE AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE
COMET-MCM is a 300 m operational AUV designed to meet the needs of detection, localization and classification of underwater mines on large areas in a limited time.
COMET-MCM is able to navigate up to 20 hours with the most accurate positioning. This provides the operator precise information of the field data acquired during the mission through its integrated Side Scan Sonar and HD TV camera.
COMET-MCM operates either alone, in a fleet (SWARM) or in combination with SonaDive handheld sonar giving a unique manned/unmanned range for MCM operations.
NemoSens
VERSATILE MICRO AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE
NemoSens is a compact autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) designed for scientific, industrial and defence applications. Lightweight and modular, its open LINUX architecture allows users to develop their own navigation algorithm for greater flexibility and maximaluse.
Mission coverage can be extended thanks to the swarm technology and the possibility to deploy multiple AUVs. NemoSens is also compatible with all the RTsys product range such as the SonaDive diver held systems or beacons.
NemoSens integrates the latest upgrades of both hardware and software developments from the RTsys product range. Which makes it the most efficient and reliable micro AUV of its generation. Software functions and measurement sensors (within a 2kglimit) canbeadded ondemand, so getreadyto extend your range.
