Littoral Clearance Zone Operations: Enhancing the Battlespace with Autonomous and Diving Systems

Survey. Clear. Advance.   Littoral Clearance Zone (LCZ) operations are a critical component of amphibious, maritime security, and expeditionary warfare missions. Conducted in the challenging transition area between land and sea, LCZ operations are designed to identify, classify, and mitigate hazards that could threaten vessels, amphibious forces, port infrastructure, or personnel. Traditionally, these missions relied […]

ArtemisIRIS in Port and Harbour Clearance: A New Era of Diver Safety and Operational Efficiency

Modern military and police diving teams operate in some of the most challenging environments imaginable. For decades, Port and Harbour clearance missions have relied on diver experience, tactile searches, and traditional sonar systems. While effective, these methods can be time-consuming, physically demanding, and inherently hazardous. Today, however, technology is reshaping the way underwater clearance operations […]

Autonomous Advantage: Bayonet 250 in the Littoral Battlespace

The surf zone remains one of the most dangerous and least understood environments in military operations, concealing mines, unexploded ordnance, and obstacles that threaten both personnel and mission success. Traditionally, clearing this route would require military divers, reconnaissance teams, or specialised vessels to move into harm’s way. Every metre of progress would carry risk. Every […]

From Contact Detection to Diver Deployment: Enhancing Police Search Operations with SeeByte

Survey smarter. Investigate faster. Recover with confidence.   When police dive teams are called to investigate a submerged vehicle, recover critical evidence, or conduct a search and recovery operation, every minute spent searching increases resource demands and can expose divers to unnecessary risk. Modern robotic and sonar technologies are changing that equation, enabling teams to […]
