Mine-countermeasure operations can combine uncrewed platforms that collect sensor data with human operators who assess potential targets and direct follow-up actions.
Key details
- The process involves detecting, classifying and neutralizing suspected mines.
- Advanced Acoustic Concepts’ SAMDIS sonar images targets from multiple angles during one pass, according to the report.
- The report describes Angler, associated with Advanced Acoustic Concepts, as a remotely operated mine-neutralization system.
The mine-countermeasure process involves detecting, classifying and neutralizing suspected mines.
Why it matters
Using uncrewed platforms to gather sensor data gives human operators information to assess before directing follow-up actions. The described approach pairs remote sensing with human decision-making during mine-countermeasure work.
