SeeByte Ltd. today announces the order of additional Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) sidescan embedded mine Computer Aided Detection and Classification (CAD/CAC) system to the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), Wellington, New Zealand.
SeeByte’s SeeTrack Military software provides a situation awareness solution that helps personnel conducting maritime mine countermeasures(MCM) operations to plan missions and build a single integrated picture of the operational environment by processing data from a wide variety of assets.
SeeTrack Military’s Product Manager Alastair Cormack said:
"SeeByte are proud to continue support of the RNZN and to be selected to provide our SeeTrack Military CAD/CAC system on their entire AUV fleet. Our team have been working alongside the navy to seamlessly integrate the operation of all their MCM assets within one easy to use, portable software package. Our modular system supports sonar, video, navigation and environmental sensor products across all sizes of manned and unmanned systems. With built in support for import and export to existing geographic and tactical systems, operating in multinational operations is easy. We look forward to supporting the New Zealand Navy, the US Navy Special Clearance Team, the US Office of Naval Research and our other technology development partners in this role during the upcoming AUV Fest in Panama City, FL. Our ongoing relationship with New Zealand Ocean Technology Limited has been an essential ingredient in satisfying this RNZN requirement”
Cmdr Gordon Stamp, Director of RNZN Capability Requirements said:
“SeeByte Ltd and the SeeTrack Military system continue to provide state-of-the-art tools and the technical support we need to integrate data and planning across all our MCM assets, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), divers and towed sonars. We are able to seamlessly work with other nations through SeeTrack's use of open standards, and through the built in links, supporting ESRI, MINTACS and MEDAL. ”
