The navy’s Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Command in Erdek operates the Gavia AUVs.
Set to be used together with the existing Edgetch 2205 side scan sonars, the Blueview MB2250 will provide capabilities for side scan sonar nadir gapfill.
Modules also help deliver high-frequency multi-beam data that can enable the detection and classification of mine such as objects.
Teledyne modules were put to test during recent MCM trials. The capability allowed the Turkish Navy AUV to cover nearly a further 40% in area than the vehicle in the same time period.
