The HC-180 was integrated with a winch and Towfish Launch & Recovery System (T-LARS), which was designed and tested by Seafloor Systems.

In March, Klein Marine Systems delivered the first micro-MA-X (µMA-X System) to support the US Navy’s next generation small-class unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) evaluation.

NSWC PCD mine warfare prototyping director Todd Holland said: “The main benefits of ANTX are two-fold, the government gains first-hand interaction with emerging technology and the innovation providers gain warfighter feedback and insight on how to better work with government.

“Our team here at Panama City Division, including our test directors, test engineers, range managers, and public affairs personnel did a great job of responding to various challenges while hosting an outstanding ANTX event in collaboration with Klein Marine Systems.”
