Unmanned Underwater Vehicle SUBHEADING
MINE COUNTERMEASURES VARIANT
The REMUS 100M mine countermeasures variant is a small class, two-man portable unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) that can be rapidly deployed to hazardous areas to collect data in support of defense missions. The open architecture and modularity of the REMUS Technology Platform facilitates increased capabilities, interoperability and applications while decreasing risk and cost.
Key Features
- Two-man portable, small-class UUV
- 100-meter depth rated
- Up to 10-hour mission duration
- Speeds up to 4.5 knots
- Open architecture
- Low logistics
- Rapidly deployable from any vessel of opportunity
Mine Countermeasures (MCM)
The REMUS 100 is used by expeditionary warfare forces worldwide to conduct shallow-water MCM and port and harbor clearance. Using side scan sonar, the REMUS 100 surveys large areas autonomously which allows operators to review the data away from the mine field to identify and classify mine-like objects.
Search and Recovery (SAR)
REMUS 100 UUVs are rapidly deployable from any vessel of opportunity and provide large area coverage on a single mission, making them ideal for SAR operations. Side scan sonar and precision navigation provide highly accurate data to locate targets, including downed aircraft and sunken ships.
Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA)
REMUS 100 UUVs can be used for REA, evaluating ocean bottom type and obstacles to clear Q routes and landing zones. Side scan sonar facilitates characterization of the physical environment to increase mission effectiveness, reduce risk and improve efficiency for follow-on missions.
