Business Wire
ECA Group, subsidiary of Groupe Gorgé, is a partner in the MMCM
programme, which OCCAR awarded to Thalès (in partnership with BAE
Systems) on 27 March 2015. Aimed at the British and French navies,
this programme will develop a prototype autonomous system for the
detection and neutralisation of sea mines and underwater improvised
explosive devices.
The programme comprises three stages, two of which are
optional.
In the first stage, which represents several million euros and
should be completed in 2015 and 2016, ECA Group will design the
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and its Launch and Recovery
System (LARS). ECA Group has filed several patents for the latter
system, which falls under its areas of expertise.
The systems will be manufactured and delivered during the
following stages of the programme, which represent more than €10
million. They will enable the French and British navies to perform
operational assessments.
ECA Group's participation in this programme confirms its leading
position - worldwide and especially in Europe, over a period
spanning more than 30 years in the unmanned neutralisation of
underwater mines.
Well known for its mine identification and neutralisation
vehicles, which can operate at depths of more than 300 metres and
in areas with very strong currents, ECA Group has extended its
offer over the last ten years. It now boasts the most comprehensive
range of underwater and surface drones required to launch an
unmanned mine countermeasure fighting force.
ECA Group's range of mine countermeasure AUVs includes the A9-M,
A18-M and A27-M. This comprehensive and complementary range of
vehicles carrying the various sensors required to detect, identify
and locate mines can operate in shallow water and in the deep sea.
The autonomous underwater vehicle designed for the MMCM programme
will be derived from the A27-M, the largest AUV in the range. It
will include the most recent SAMDIS sonar from Thalès. The LARS
will enable this AUV to be launched in the most challenging sea
conditions from non-specialised vessels.
