3D FLS Enabling The Future of Unmanned Defense Operations
Unmanned and autonomous systems are rapidly reshaping naval operations, making the move from experimental to essential. The next era of naval superiority will hinge on how effectively these platforms integrate within broader fleet operations, and on the sensor technologies that empower them to perceive, decide, and act independently across diverse maritime environments.
Argos Integration into Autonomous Systems
In the most common use of the Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) systems designed for real time navigation, the “vessel operator” is a human, or a crew, interacting with a computer display of the sonar output on the bridge of a vessel. However, as technology advances, vessels are moving more towards operating autonomously. In this case, “vessel operator” means something like a navigation control system. A number of projects incorporating autonomous navigation are either already in the water or currently underway.
