The most compact seaplane in its class was presented by the eponymous company SEABER.
Naval News writes that, according to the promises of the developers, this micro-autonomous submarine is capable of cruising at 11 km / h and detecting all types of sea mines. An unusual device was introduced at the Undersea Defense Technology fair in Rostock.
The unmanned underwater module is equipped with standard payloads: side-scan sonar, multi-beam echo sounder and fluxgate magnetometer. The model features a USBL underwater positioning system, making it the most compact and easy-to-use tool for mine operations in its class. The main advantages of this new generation of micro drones are their high accuracy and maneuverability, as well as their ultra-lightness, which makes it easy to launch the device from shore or from a ship.
“From the very beginning, the Navy has shown interest in our underwater drones. Our SEABER responds to the Navy’s need for accurate and easy-to-use autonomous vehicles to clear mines in shallow waters,” the company says. “For less than €100,000, our Mine Action SEABER is up and running,” said Vidal Teixeira, CEO of the company.
The second underwater module, RECALL, was also introduced at the fair. It dives to a depth of up to 300 meters and is only 90 cm long. The developers say this robust system is easy to use for non-robots experts, thanks to its intuitive and ergonomic design.
