Description
Multiple sensors, integrated with a shared processing engine, provide unique capabilities in a single compact, low-power package.
• Focused Sidescan provides “SAS grade” image quality
• Patented Angle Look Sonar (ALS) technology gives true gap-filling capability for a >40% increase in survey efficiency, high contrast across the entire swath, and in-stride multiaspect view
Key Features:
• True Full-Swath Coverage
• Integrated Sidescan, Gap-filler and Short- Range Hazard and Terrain Avoidance
• Compact Low Power Design
• Compatible with all Leading Vehicles
• Designed for In-Service Capability Upgrades
Designed for P3I:
Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) is the core principle of the AUV-MAKO design.
• Delivers Continual Improvements and Upgrades
• Provides Additional Capability with Minimal or No Additional Integration Effort
• System Functionality Evolve to Meet Changing Requirements and Threats
• Increases System Lifespan
Block Functionality Roadmap*:
Block 2: Integrated IHO-Standard Bathymetry
Block 3: Multiple/Additional Sidescan Frequencies
(incl. >1MHz Acoustic Identification Mode)
Block 4: Onboard Automatic Target Recognition
Block 5: Long-Range Hazard and Terrain Avoidance
Block 6: Full-Domain ATR
