At
the Euronaval exhibition in Paris which was held from 27 to 31 October,
Singapore based ST Engineering introduced its Venus USV in a new mine
counter measure (MCM) configuration. The Venus Unmanned Surface Vehicle
(USV) is a highly customisable, yet modular platform. |

It
is designed to meet the growing interest in re-configurable USVs for
multi-missions. The modular approach of the Venus USV facilitates the
integration of multi-missions modules which can be configured for different
missions and deployed for use in dangerous situations without risking
human lives. The Venus family of USVs includes the 16-metre Venus-16,
the 11-metre Venus-11, and the 9-metre Venus-9.
The Venus USVs has been successfully integrated with four different
payloads to perform different types of missions:
• Towed Synthetic Aperture Sonar (TSAS) from Thales Underwater
Systems to perform Mine Detection and Classification missions.
• Expendable Mine Disposal Systems (EMDS) from ECA Robotics to
perform Mine Identification and Neutralisation mission.
• Remote Weapon Station (RWS) from OTO Melara to perform Force
Protection missions.
• Dipping Sonar from Thales Underwater Systems to perform Anti-Submarine
Warfare missions. |
