Hydroid – REMUS 600 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle 3d animate
JMSDF: Sweeping ship “Etajima” Commissioned: with REMUS 600
“Etajima”:
“Etajima” is a minesweeper that eliminates danger with an FRP body.
It is the role of minesweepers to “clean up mines and open up safe routes” with UUVs.
The UUV searches for mines that do not know where they are hiding.
UUV: Unmanned Underwater Vehicle)
An autonomously controlled underwater robot sails and
Using the equipped sonar device and sensor,
Find a mine.
Operating such minesweeping robots has become the mainstream of minesweeping in recent years.
Then, the captured mines are subjected to processing such as blasting after the fact.
“Remus 600” of “Etajima”:
A robot called “Remus 600” is loaded on “Etajima”.
Side scan sonar detects mines,
High-speed navigable UUV scans a wide area of the sea,
Find out where the mines are laid.
Of course, an optical monitoring device is also combined.
After that, pinpoint identification with another equipment and put in disposal equipment to deal with it.
Minesweeper mobility:
Minesweepers are especially important for Japan, an island nation with a long coastline.
Increasing threats in the Senkaku Islands,
Given the relevant island defenses,
It becomes more important.
Minesweepers are free to operate in the shallow waters of the southern islands.
