SASS-Q

This 6 meter vehicle has a maximum speed of 10 knots and a payload capacity of up to 200 kg. It is designed to be launched and recovered from a ship or to be deployed from the shore. The vehicle can carry fixed sensors for above and below water surveillance and can be designed for operations where a particularly low underwater noise signature is required. To date, the vehicle has been successfully operated with sonars for underwater survey and with cameras for above water surveillance. This vehicle is a leading candidate for towed side scan sonar operations such as deep-water naval mine war fare. Most recently the vehicle was evaluated by the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense under their concept capability demonstrator program.
