During
the demonstration the AUV A9-M has carried out different tasks of detection,
classification and localization in order to find different dummy mines
laid by the customer at unknown positions. After having successfully
found those ones, ECA Group team has reported a full seafloor mapping
results using Triton Imaging MCM Suite for Sea mapping and Target management.
By providing high quality of seabed imagery and accurate position of
the mines, A9-M has shown that it is the best compromise for a compact
light AUV, having a high level of navigation accuracy and platform stability,
very low magnetic / acoustical signatures and unique endurance (more
than 10 hours). Thanks to its advanced software suite, covering the
different operational tasks from the mission preparation till the post-mission
analysis, A9-M offers a complete and efficient solution to answer the
most demanding mine warfare operations.
Specially designed for the French clearance divers, A9-M is operated
within different navies since 2012.
Combined with the SEASCAN Mk2 for target inspection and K-STER C for
mine neutralization, A9 is part of mine warfare robotic solutions designed
by ECA Group. This system is proposed with a complete mine counter measure
software suite for mission management, sensor data processing as well
as MCM data base administration.
ECA Group is renown by its customers worldwide as a reliable and long
lasting (since 80 years!) expert in robotic systems for mine-warfare
domain. More than 20 navies worldwide use its solutions. Over 800 ECA
Group robotic systems are operational at this moment ! |
