SeeTrack: The Defence Ready Command and Control System for Maritime Autonomy

In an era where robotic systems define naval superiority, SeeTrack stands at the centre: Uniting AUVs, ROVs, and operators into one powerful defence ecosystem

 

As autonomous technologies reshape the underwater battlespace, naval forces increasingly rely on robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) to conduct complex and often hazardous missions. Recognised as one of the most advanced command‑and‑control platforms for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), SeeByte’s SeeTrack software has become a global standard; deployed by more than 20 navies worldwide. Designed for defence, commercial subsea, and research environments, SeeTrack enables operators to plan, execute, and analyse missions with unmatched accuracy, efficiency, and situational awareness.

 

Mission Planning, Monitoring, and Analysis for High‑Stakes Operations

At the core of SeeTrack is a comprehensive mission‑management environment that supports every stage of an underwater operation. Mission planners can coordinate single or multi‑vehicle deployments, configure task plans, and visualise environmental constraints; all from an intuitive interface. During execution, SeeTrack provides real‑time situational awareness, displaying vehicle health, sensor feeds, and operational progress.

 

For post‑mission analysis, SeeTrack integrates advanced data‑processing tools such as sonar waterfall review, sensor mosaics, and rapid target‑picking utilities. By fusing data from multiple onboard sensors, the system delivers high‑resolution insights critical for time‑sensitive defence tasks, including mine countermeasures and harbour security.

 

Multi‑Platform Compatibility for Modern Naval Fleets

Modern underwater operations increasingly involve diverse fleets. To meet this demand, the SeeByte software suite is engineered as a system-and-vendor‑neutral, multi‑system platform, allowing AUKUS and partner navies to operate a broad range of world‑leading autonomous and uncrewed systems through a single software environment. Notable compatible systems include but are not limited to REMUS UUVs, Kraken Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) systems (Katfish towed system and UUV payloads), Teledyne Reson sonar systems, Bayonet AUGVs, SRS Fusion ROVs, VideoRay ROVs, and plenty more.

 

This interoperability ensures that vehicles or payloads can be upgraded, swapped, or integrated without requiring operators to retrain; preserving capability while reducing lifecycle cost. It also enables seamless coordination during joint naval operations, where assets from multiple countries must operate side‑by‑side with consistent command‑and‑control standards.

 

Campaign Manager: Turning Mission Data into Actionable Intelligence

In maritime security, the value of data increases over time. SeeTrack’s Campaign Manager module extends mission execution into long‑term intelligence gathering by storing, organising, and indexing both current and historical operations. Users can search previous mission data, perform automated change detection, and generate detailed reports; helping navies track environmental changes, monitor seabed conditions, and build a persistent operational picture.

 

Autonomy Extensions for Next‑Generation Threat Detection

SeeTrack’s optional autonomy extensions give naval forces access to emerging technologies in underwater automation. These include:

  • Mission‑Level Autonomy, allowing vehicles to adapt to conditions and optimise behaviours mid‑mission.
  • Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), a machine‑learning‑driven toolset that accelerates the detection and classification of mines and other seabed objects.

These capabilities reduce operator workload and significantly speed up the identification of potential threats; key in high‑tempo mine‑countermeasure operations.

 

A Proven Platform for the Future of Underwater Robotics

From multinational naval exercises to high‑risk mine‑clearance operations, SeeTrack enables forces to deploy robotic assets with confidence and precision. Its vendor‑neutral architecture, advanced mission‑analysis tools, and forward‑leaning autonomy extensions position it as a future‑ready command‑and‑control platform for modern defence organisations.

 

SeeTrack continues to redefine what is possible in maritime autonomy; empowering navies to operate safer, faster, and more intelligently beneath the surface.
