Automating Seaborne Vessels for Unmanned Operations
Kratos OpenSpace offers cutting-edge solutions for sea surface vehicle automation, revolutionizing the way seaborne vessels operate. Through advanced vehicle control systems, Kratos enables a seamless transition from human-driven vessels to unmanned systems. These systems are easy to install and ensure quick conversion, allowing for efficient unmanned operations without compromising on performance. By integrating vehicle management computers, actuators, and navigation systems, Kratos' technology provides options for tele-operation or semi-autonomous GPS waypoint following, enhancing the overall operational capabilities of these vessels.
High-Speed Maneuvering Surface Target (HSMST) for Naval Missions
Kratos OpenSpace's Sea Surface Vehicle Automation is currently employed in supporting critical mission operations for the U.S. Navy and Army through the High-Speed Maneuvering Surface Target (HSMST). This innovative technology was developed to meet the demand for a target capable of reaching speeds of over 40 knots, simulating littoral threats encountered by the fleet. Additionally, the HSMST retains a capability of 35 knots even in advanced sea states, showcasing its robust performance and reliability. The use of Kratos' C2 system in these operations ensures precision control and efficient execution of naval tasks, further solidifying the value of Kratos OpenSpace technology in defense applications.
