Thales has launched a fully configurable unmanned mine counter-measures system for naval forces.

Pathmaster utilizes the company's SAMDIS high-resolution synthetic aperture sonar, with multi-aspect imaging technology, to view objects from three angles.

"In today's volatile international context; countries are stepping up measures to protect their maritime approaches, commercial ports and naval bases. At the same time, it is crucial to limit the exposure of operational personnel to undersea mines," Thales said in a news release.

The SAMDIS technology was successfully evaluated by the French defense procurement agency, DGA, in 2016.

Pathmaster features an automatic deployment and recovery system, automatic target recognition functions and user-friendly tactical software for minefield management.

The Pathmaster was launched this week at the Euronaval 2016 naval exhibition in the French capital.
