According to the report, Thales just bagged a 10-million-pound ($13.5 million) contract with the UK Ministry of Defense to roll out next-gen remote command centers for the Royal Navy’s autonomous Minehunting missions.
The report stated that the facilities will use artificial intelligence (AI) to help the military track down and destroy sea mines more safely and efficiently. The contract could expand up to 100 million pounds ($135 million), making it a key step in the force’s shift to using more unmanned tech.
The report said that the AI-powered platform allows navy personnel to control a fleet of drone vessels to spot and deal with mines from a secure location. It is backed by Mi-Map, another piece of AI software that filters and sorts through sensor data to make mine detection faster and more accurate. Thales is also using its advanced AI framework, cortAIx, to make sure everything works smoothly.
The report added that these new remote hubs can be set up on ships or ashore, and they’ll help protect key sea routes and underwater infrastructure, which are critical to everything from global shipping to internet cables.
Royal Navy Command Program Director Jon Reed-Beviere stated that the new Remote Command Centres will give Royal Navy personnel unprecedented command and control over our autonomous mine hunting systems
Additionally, this integrated approach allows them to operate multiple unmanned platforms simultaneously and integrate new capabilities in the future. It represents a paradigm shift in how they deliver mine countermeasures capability.
