SEA & ACUA Ocean Partner for Advanced Sonar on Uncrewed Vessels
SEA and ACUA Ocean have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore deploying advanced sonar systems aboard long-endurance uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). The partnership aims to enhance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.
The agreement involves co-developing mission concepts, identifying defence and commercial opportunities, and showcasing the combined technology to international customers. SEA's KraitSense towed array sonar will be integrated with ACUA Ocean's autonomous platforms for persistent wide-area sensing and undersea situational awareness. SEA will provide acoustic sensor expertise and technical support for integration, while ACUA Ocean brings its experience in ocean-going unmanned platforms.
The planned capability is described as modular, scalable, and cost-effective, with the potential to strengthen naval forces' ability to detect and track submarines while reducing reliance on large crewed assets.
