Innovative ASW Solutions Presented by Ghostworks Marine & Ultra Maritime
Ghostworks Marine and Ultra Maritime Present ASW Innovations
Ghostworks Marine is excited to reveal its latest designs and operational concepts for advanced maritime anti-submarine warfare (ASW) vessels in collaboration with Ultra Maritime's cutting-edge ASW technologies.
Medusa ASW Vessel: A New Era of Maritime Defense
The Medusa (M90T), a remarkable 90-foot vessel with an innovative M-Hull design, is engineered to deliver a scalable and effective ASW capability. This modular platform is aimed at improving allied navies' efficiency in underwater threat detection and engagement. Equipped with Ultra Maritime's next-level sonar technology, the Medusa ensures a rapid response to maritime security challenges while remaining cost-effective.
Capabilities of the Medusa ASW Platform
The Medusa's structure allows for high speed and significant payload capacity, making it ideal for swift deployment in ASW missions. The vessel features a state-of-the-art Mission Pod, a 20-foot container designed for both crewed and uncrewed operations. This pod is equipped with a complete ASW system that operates autonomously, ensuring effective surveillance and response to potential threats under the sea.
Enhancing ASW Operations with Unmanned Surface Vehicles
In addition to its core features, the Medusa is poised to carry Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) developed by Ghostworks. These USVs will enhance operational range and capabilities by deploying Ultra Maritime's innovative sonobuoys. With extended operational lifespans and superior acoustic performance, these sonobuoys critically support navies in maintaining secure transit routes for commercial and military vessels.
Flexible Integration for Modern Naval Strategies
Mark Kenny, a senior leader at Ultra Maritime, emphasized the seamless integration possibilities of the Mission Pod with the Medusa vessel. The combination of these platforms allows for enhanced detection and data collection, offering an all-in-one solution at a significantly lower expense compared to larger ASW ships.
Future Perspectives on ASW Development
Patrick Coughlin, EVP of Business Development for Ghostworks, outlined visionary operational strategies aimed at delivering a comprehensive ASW capability swiftly. The focus is on creating a fleet of Medusa vessels that can directly connect with USVs, utilizing advanced technology such as tethered octocopters for data retrieval from sonobuoys. This strategic alignment enhances operational persistence and allows for refueling and reloading of the USVs at sea.
The collaboration between Ghostworks Marine and Ultra Maritime is paving the way for future international partnerships as they expand their innovative vision into new markets.
