The integration of these autonomous capabilities supports complex mission planning and collaboration between unmanned systems.
The demonstration, which took place late last year in the
'This represents an important milestone in our continued autonomy development,' said
Sea Machines' SM300 system can be outfitted to ocean-capable vessels to enable remotely commanded USV operations or can work alongside an onboard crew to elevate the capability, precision and endurance of a mission-driven vessel. During the demonstration, HII's autonomy managed mission delegation and enabled collaborative autonomy with other unmanned systems while providing the SM300 system information to manage the USV heading and speed.
'Sea Machines' products are developed to integrate readily with the wide range of vessel types. Our goal is to fit seamlessly into a vessel's command and control stack which in some cases will include information and control systems from other autonomy systems either above or below our technology,' said
The open architecture and modularity of HII's autonomy make it a flexible, scalable option for customers seeking to enhance their current autonomy platform with additional advanced capabilities. HII's collaborative autonomy enables complex mission delegation to multiple unmanned assets that all share situational awareness. Together, HII and Sea Machines will offer varying levels of autonomy complexity for different operations.
