The French group CMN NAVAL is showcasing the fastest autonomous interceptor in the world, the UHSI32, at the upcoming World Defence Show from 6 – 9 March 2022, in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The autonomous abilities and features has been developed by CMN in cooperation with Sea Machines Robotics.
CMN NAVAL will demonstrate the UHSI32’s ability to execute autonomous transit missions, pattern autonomy and dynamic collision avoidance while being operated via over-the-horizon network connectivity almost anywhere in the world. In addition, Raytheon command and control system will help analyze, track and compile data.
The UHSI32 combines multiple mission capabilities with high-speed performance (over 45 knots) and an extended patrol period of three days. With a length of 32m and beam of 7m, missions include maritime security, search-and-rescue (SAR), insertion, surveillance and protection of assets at sea.
“The UHSI32 is the first high-speed interceptor in its class which incorporates autonomous technology. We will continue to collaborate with world leaders in specific fields to push the boundaries of innovations and to become the world’s most advanced and sustainable shipbuilder,” said Fadi S. Pataq of CMN NAVAL.
