Zitat:New Light AUVs For Danish Navy’s Mine Countermeasures Vesselshttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...s-vessels/
The Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) recently signed a framework agreement for the acquisition of six Light Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (LAUV) from the Portuguese company OCEANSCAN-MST. [...] The underwater drones can sail up to eight hours at a time and must primarily operate at a depth of 4-10 meters, but can operate all the way down to a depth of 100 meters. When the unit has to search for mines, all six LAUVs can be set up at the same time, after which they themselves calculate how to search the seabed within a given area.
Five of the drones have side scan sonar modules, which are used to scan the seabed and locate the mines. In addition to this sonar, the latest drone also has a so-called ID functionality, which can take high-resolution photos as well as laser scan any threats on the seabed. [...] The underwater drones are 2.1 m long, 15 cm in diameter and weigh 30 kg each. The first three LAUVs will be delivered in the first quarter of 2022, where various tests and operator courses are planned. The drones are expected to be operational by summer 2022.
