The MURENE can be deployed from shore, from a boat or from a submarine through a torpedo tube. The SLV is fitted with a cutting-edge Inertial Navigation System coupled to a Doppler Velocity Log and a GPS. Its small dimension, its greater ease of use, and intuitive piloting, make it a perfect device to sneak up on maritime targets. The full version, fitted with a Forward-Looking Multi-Beam Sonar, is able to carry out seabed monitoring. Designed on the basis of a strong cooperation with combat divers, it is fully built and patented by ALSEAMAR.
