SEA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ACUA Ocean, a specialist in Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs), to explore the potential deployment of SEA’s towed array sonar systems aboard ACUA Ocean’s autonomous platforms for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. SEA press releaseThe strategic agreement sets the framework for a collaborative evaluation of the technical integration of SEA’s cutting-edge underwater sensing product, KraitSense and ACUA Ocean’s long-endurance, high sea state capable USVs. Richard Flitton, Managing Director of SEA said, “In today’s rapidly evolving threat environment, the underwater battlespace is evolving quickly. While crewed platforms remain vital to ASW and ISR operations, uncrewed vessels hosting specialist KraitSense payloads will bring powerful complimentary capabilities, that enable persistent wide-area underwater sensing and situational awareness. The company will also work closely with ACUA Ocean to co-develop operational concepts that align with current and emerging ASW and ISR mission requirements.
