KATFISH autonomous launch and recovery systems
Uncrewed launch and recovery systems for the KATFISH towed SAS, for vessels with an ISO20 footprint or for USVs of 11 m and larger.
Description
Kraken's autonomous launch and recovery systems (LARS) bring the KATFISH towed synthetic aperture sonar aboard without human intervention. Intelligent winch control measures the motion of both the surface vessel and KATFISH for safe operation in harsh environments.
Key features
- Launch and recovery without human intervention
- Intelligent winch control based on vessel and towfish motion
- ISO20 LARS: modular, rapid integration on vessels of opportunity with an ISO20 footprint
- USV LARS: compact system for integration on uncrewed surface vessels from 11 m
Applications
Deploying KATFISH from crewed survey vessels and from uncrewed surface vessels for seabed survey and mine countermeasures.
