Thales has already successfully demonstrated the capacities of Expeditionary Pathmaster, which can integrate third-party assets (such as autonomous unmanned vessel (AUV), remotely operated vehicle (ROV), and conventional mine hunters), on an expeditionary portable operation center, with the Lithuanian navy.
Thales has been a world leader in mine countermeasures for more than 50 years. Its mine countermeasures solutions enable the navies to accurately detect, classify, localize, identify, and, if needed, neutralize mines in the most complex regions in the world, in real-time.
Thales’ Mi-Map sonar analysis application uses AI to process sonar data up to four times faster than with conventional tools, making it possible to locate underwater mines with greater precision than ever before, with 99% exact classification. The M-Cube mission management system harnesses AI to manage multiple parallel sonar analysis sessions with MiMap, providing real-time updates on session progress and detected objects.
“As seas become increasingly contested and navies face unexpected threats and challenges, mine countermeasures have become a key discipline to ensure the sovereignty and safety of critical infrastructures and sea lines of communication. At Thales, we’re ahead of the curve. Expeditionary PathMaster is a turnkey game-changer: modular, scalable, and powered by artificial intelligence,” said Sébastien Guérémy, Vice President of Underwater Systems, Thales. “We’re bringing navies the digital transformation and dronization that give them the decisive edge -today and tomorrow.”
With Expeditionary PathMaster, Thales sets the standard in cyber-secure, manned and autonomous mine warfare—keeping naval forces one step ahead.
