Mine Countermeasures

Stand-off, scalable mine countermeasures built around autonomous search, intelligent classification and the mission effect required by the force.

All missions

The full MCM cycle, without people in the minefield

MCM operations should expose systems before sailors. Sentiq builds mission capability that place autonomous and remotely operated assets into the area of uncertainty while command remains at stand-off range. The scalable SQ family provides the autonomous platform backbone, with Sentiq ROVs supporting close investigation tasks of MILOs. Platforms, sonar payloads and control are selected around water depth, area, deployment method and the operational tempo required.

Search, classify, map, re-acquire

There is no single MCM configuration for every harbour, approach, littoral zone or expeditionary task. Sentiq takes a toolbox approach: matching autonomous platforms, sensors, remotely operated assets and communications to the environment and concept of operations. That allows capability to scale from focused investigation of a constrained area to a strategic shipping lane, while preserving the option to integrate with established naval MCM command structures and specialist payloads.
The Mission Chain

Sense✕Decide✕Act

Every maritime mission depends on the ability to sense the threat, decide with confidence and act at the right moment. Sentiq brings together sensors, platforms, communications, autonomy and command-and-control to create integrated capabilities across the complete mission loop.
Platforms and Products

Featured Capability

All Platforms + Products

SQ18 USV

A ship-deployable USV combining autonomous navigation, precision positioning and multibeam sonar for survey and REA missions.

SQ24 USV

A long-range, high-speed USV with monohull and twin-hull configurations for distributed ISR, ASW, maritime security and force protection.

SQ30 USV

A nine-metre, long-endurance USV delivering persistent seabed survey capability from shallow to deep

SQ ROVs

A versatile range of portable inspection-class ROVs for underwater recon, inspection, recovery and light intervention.

Mission Outcomes

Detection and classification

USVs towing side scan sonar for wide-area, complemented by multibeam echosounders on the USV.

Identification

Inspection-class ROVs deliver close visual identification of contacts.

Neutralisation

ROVs configured with mine disposal charges complete the cycle. The whole sequence is conducted from shore or from a host platform, with no diver and no manned vessel in the danger area.

WHERE WE WORK

Mission Sets

All missions

Anti-Submarine Warfare

Detect, localise and maintain awareness of submerged platforms. Sentiq integrates autonomous platforms, underwater sensing and distributed surveillance to extend ASW coverage and strengthen the underwater threat picture.

Hydrography & Marine Survey

Chart the seabed and profile the water column without a crewed vessel. Sentiq configures survey-grade autonomous platforms for hydrographic charting, port bathymetry, offshore energy survey and marine scientific research.

Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance

Sense, and make sense of the maritime landscape. Sentiq combines autonomous surface, subsurface and airborne capability to extend surveillance, reduce exposure and accelerate decision-making.
