MINE COUNTER MEASURES
Numerous bodies of water worldwide are plagued with a high concentration of unexploded ordnances (UXOs) that require safe disposal. While divers have traditionally been involved in this risky process, the use of ROVs and AUVs has emerged as a much safer alternative. The FUSION ROV has played a pivotal role in Mine Countermeasures (MCM) missions across the globe.
HOW IS THE FUSION USED IN MCM?
Outfitted with the Titan Disruptor System, the lightest and most versatile disruptor on the market, the SRS FUSION ROV transforms into a powerful MCM tool.
MINE LOCATION VIA SONAR
Equipped with a sophisticated suite of sensors, the FUSION ROV seamlessly integrates the data streams to quantify survey results from vast areas and while rapidly pinpointing mines for neutralization.
EXPLOSIVE ORDINANCE DISPOSAL
FUSION, when equipped with the Titan Disruptor, provides an effective and rapid intervention capability for neutralizing unexploded ordinance. The standoff capability inherent in FUSION, ensures vehicle integrity is maintained for ongoing operational requirements.
POST MISSION ANALYSIS
FUSION's capability to store extensive data from sonar, video, USBL, and other sensors through its data management software enables users to conduct post-mission analysis as standard practice. During operations the system collects and stores time stamped data from the scanning sonar, the side scan sonar, video, USBL and other integrated sensors. Reports are rapidly generated and provide the road map required for targeted and enhanced mission planning, search, and intervention operations.
TAKE THE DIVER OUT OF THE MINEFIELD
Mine Counter Measures operations are required to eliminate mines and improve safety for all seafarers from current and historical threats. The FUSION hybrid ROV, provides an exceptionally advanced MCM system, when configured with a TiTAN disruptor or similar intervention system.
REPLACES DIVER ACTIVITY
Utilizing an ROV in place of a diver significantly minimizes the risk to life during challenging and intricate underwater missions.
REMOTE OPERATIONS
The FUSION Hybrid vehicle can be operated as a traditional ROV with a standoff capability of up to 2 kilometers. When the system is configured in the AUV mode this distance can be increased depending on operational conditions. Both system modes eliminate the need for divers or other team members to be in close proximity to any potential risks.
CLEARING OUR WATERS OF EXPLOSIVES
Our oceans are littered with unexploded ordnance, from current conflicts and historical events. These hazards adversely affect freedom of navigation for civilian and military transit, and also have a considerable negative impact on marine wildlife. By utilizing the cutting-edge technology of the SRS FUSION with the Titan disruptor, we are not only protecting lives but also preserving our precious marine ecosystems for future generations.
KEY BENEFITS OF FUSION IN MCM:
- Replaces the need for a diver to go near UXOs
- Remote operations ensures team safety
- Utilizes cutting edge Titan disruptor
- Easy, fast deployment in water
