Autonomous Add-on System
By integrating an additional autonomous navigation system from DanaDynamics, your vessel can be converted into an autonomous naval drone that can safely navigate without human intervention.
This system called SKIPPER, is designed to work with different nautical systems and is an advanced autopilot. It can be integrated with selected electric propulsion systems and is compatible with combustion engines combined with additional actuation units.
The system is equipped with advanced sensors, such as GPS, radar, sonar, and cameras, that gather real-time data and use Deep Learning technology to make informed decisions regarding course, speed, and object avoidance, making navigation safer and more efficient.
Consider using autonomous navigation during your naval missions to gain the following benefits:
- Navigating autonomously on a pre-defined mission
- Using Waypoint navigation and managing heading, course and speed
- The operator has real-time data and visual feedback from the vessel
- The operator can, at any time, take over the control of the vessel
- Active warning box lists the nearby traffic and obstacles as perceived by sensors
Navigation System SKIPPER can operate vessels during naval missions:
Mine and UXO identification
The USV is equipped with mine identification equipment to map potential threats under the sea surface. It sails in a predefined pattern tailored to facilitate the identification of the equipment’s capabilities.
SAR Operations
The USV has sensors and cameras to detect persons in distress at sea. The autonomous navigation system directs the ASV to operate within a specified area and a suitable search pattern.
Sea surface surveillance
The USV is equipped with sensors and optics for sea surface surveillance and intelligence observations. The drone is operated through an autonomous navigational system that follows a predefined mission route, which can be adjusted by the operator.
Subsea Operations
Subsea operations and surveys of critical infrastructure, inspection of ships’ hulls, and search for attached explosives.
With a maritime autonomous navigation system, your naval unit can leverage the latest technology and achieve a significant enhancement in the ability to conduct naval missions.
The system enhances safety, improves operational efficiency, and provides a competitive edge in modern automated naval defence missions.
