Triton Software Passes
NATO UUV Trials
Triton Imaging reports that its
AUV-Suite post- mission analysis (PMA) software participated in recent Unmanned
Underwater
Vehicle (UUV) Mine Countermeasure trials con- ducted by the NATO Undersea Research
Center (NURC). The Triton software was used by the Royal Norwegian Navy with is HUGIN 1000 vehicle to process sidescan and multi- beam data and to acquire, analyze, and identi- fy targets during the exercise. The configura- tion of the AUV-Suite during the exercise con- sisted of the four-screen display shown in the image below.
The Commander, Mine Warfare Command (CMWC) UUV Platoon evaluated the perform- ance of Triton's software during the exercise and made the following recommendation, "The
Triton Imaging, AUV-Suite PMA software had robust and advanced capabilities with an oper- ator-friendly graphical user interface, better than any PMA software package observed or used by the UUV Platoon. Incorporation of this software or another package with similar features is recommended for any shipboard
U.S. UUV system."
