MARTAC MANTAS T12 for MCM

Leading edge USV technology with state-of-the-art sonar technologies for mine countermeasure detection

The MANTAS T12 USV provides a technically mature Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) as an option for mine countermeasure detection. The T12-MCM configuration consists of a MANTAS USV system, a L3 KLEIN UUV-3500 High-Resolution Side Scan Sonar and a NORBIT Wideband Multibeam Forward Looking Sonar. These technologies combine to provide mine detection and real-time relay capability back to a shipside or shoreside monitoring and control station and operators.

At the core of the T12-MCM system is a custom MARTAC-designed and built MANTAS 3.6 m variant. The MANTAS T12 is lightweight electric propulsion, carbon fibre body USV based on a patented aerodynamic/hydrodynamic catamaran hull designed for stability and superior manoeuvrability at higher speeds. MANTAS hulls have demonstrated hundreds of hours of runtime, are self-righting, and proven to operate and survive on high seas.

The MANTAS T12 USV has successfully transited a surf zone both inbound and outbound, however, it is not designed to operate autonomously within the actual surf zone. The craft can effectively operate up to the area where the energy dissipation (breaking waves) begins. Features including Automated Self-Righting System and IP67 Waterproof LRU modules make the MANTAS an option for challenging surf zone operations.
