Extend the platform search
Finding and maintaining awareness of submarines and XLAUVs demands coverage, persistence and the ability to place sensors where they deliver greatest tactical value. Sentiq integrates autonomous surface and subsurface platforms with mission-specific sensing to extend surveillance beyond crewed assets alone, supporting wider-area search, barrier operations and persistent monitoring of strategically important approaches and choke points.
Build a distributed picture
ASW depends on turning detections into a coherent and continuously developing understanding of the underwater battlespace. Sentiq connects autonomous platforms, sensors, communications and command systems so distributed observations can contribute to the recognised underwater picture. Assets can be repositioned or re-tasked as the tactical situation develops, helping maintain surveillance, investigate contacts and cue specialist ASW forces.
Multi-static operations
Detecting a quiet submarine is not a matter of one sensor listening harder. Sentiq combines a fixed low-frequency source with distributed mobile receivers: SeaShield provides the active and passive backbone, while SQ USVs towing passive arrays operate as mobile receivers at distance from the source.
Operating multi-statically extends coverage well beyond the range of any single installation and complicates the acoustic problem for the target, without committing a manned platform to the search.

Mission Outcomes
Persistent submarine search
Extend surveillance across priority areas and approaches using autonomous sensing, increasing persistence while reducing demand on high-value crewed ASW platforms.
Distributed underwater sensing
Position and re-task seafloor surveillance nodes across the battlespace to expand search coverage, monitor choke points and respond as submarine activity or search priorities change.
Mobilise the ASW force
Turn distributed detections into actionable information that can support classification, localisation and the cueing of specialist ships, aircraft and other ASW assets.
