Used SRM STV 242 #9221554 for sale

SRM STV 242 is an automated surface vehicle handler (ASVH) developed for the U.S. Navy. It is designed to help detect, identify and track hostile mine threats in the littoral environment. The handler is an expendable, universal platform that incorporates both an active SAR (Radar) sensor and a Manta mine detection sonar equipment. STV 242 is capable of handling a variety of expendable ASVH payloads including buoy-based sonar systems, mine countermeasures (MCM) payloads, mine identification devices, and towed VUVS (visual and under water surveillance). It is designed to operate on both system and object imaging as well as nighttime imaging cavitation control. It has multiple payloads controlled by a single operator with a "mission control/commander" module that provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for mission planning and execution. SRM STV 242 is capable of operating autonomously at sea, providing continuous operation and long-duration surveillance without expensive platform support. It is capable of independent speed and heading control as well as the ability to change mission objectives on the fly. It includes an on-board computer, navigation sensors, power management unit, and a modular interface architecture. It also has an onboard web server which provides access for remote controlling and monitoring of the machine status. STV 242's onboard radar tool is capable of detecting and identifying mine threats in challenging environments at ranges up to several thousand meters. It is able to separate multiple mine targets simultaneously, providing reliable detection in heavily cluttered areas. The Manta mine detection asset integrates a low-frequency sonar array with advance algorithms for automatic target classification. This model can detect mine targets in ranges up to 1500 meters and has the ability to track slow-moving threats. SRM STV 242 is also equipped with an intelligent obstacle avoidance and path-planning equipment. This will generate paths around obstacles avoiding shallow water, heavy currents, and other environmental threats. It also has an on-board communication system for data sharing between on-board systems and other host platforms and remote access via public communication networks. STV 242 is an ideal choice for autonomous monitoring and surveillance of hostile littoral environments. It is an advanced, versatile ASVH designed to detect, identify and track mine threats to protect naval vessels and personnel. Its modular architecture and intelligent control systems make it a reliable and cost-effective solution for littoral surveillance missions.
