Reduce the time and number of resources required for critical underwater operations.
Mine countermeasures and critical infrastructure monitoring operations remain as some of the most demanding, resource-intensive missions in naval and security domains. Yet, across many of these missions, decisions to act on potential threats are made too late and without sufficient confidence.
When an uncrewed underwater vehicle encounters an anomaly on the seabed – it often cannot flag it fast enough to influence the mission.
This uncertainty around what has been encountered, combined with delays in escalating it to decision makers, results in longer mission timelines, repeated vehicle deployments, higher costs, and increased risk to personnel.
In response to this, Cathx has been working with the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers to accelerate their delivery of autonomous capabilities, moving threat detection & object classification onto the vehicle itself.
By automating detection & classification onto the vehicle, critical information can be communicated back to command & control when it is needed.
This significantly reduces the time and number of resources required for critical underwater operations; including mine countermeasures, swarm ops, and protected asset monitoring.
Cathx delivers:
– Real Time Threat Detection for Autonomous MCM
– Linear Asset Tracking for CUI Monitoring & Inspection
– Adaptive Autonomy Underwater for AUV Swarm Operations
Reduce the time taken to receive critical information.
Increase your confidence in the information received.
Undersea communication and critical infrastructure like pipelines and cables are vital to global communication, financial and economic interests. Sabotage and submarine warfare now pose real world threats to these critical international assets.
Cathx Ocean Defence solutions enable Navies and Service Providers to rapidly detect unidentified objects or changes to the seafloor that may be designed to disrupt these lines minimising use of specialist resources.

Cathx Ocean Fast Digital Imaging (FDI) solutions and CLARITY apply a “Right First Time” principle ensuring your critical assets and infrastructure are surveyed accurately and reliably to deliver mission-critical information.
Our Intelligent Technology
- Deliver Critical Infrastructure Monitoring and Surveillance information
- Informs Change Detection to enhance situational awareness – learn more, faster
- Reduces false positives – accuracy is paramount and our solutions enable precise ID in terms of visual characteristics, dimensions and volume which are key in to classifying object of interests like sea mines
- A range of sensor datas are required for early mine detection. CLARITY provides the platform and processing capability to deliver a range of sensor outputs (as it is sensor agnostic) as required by the client
- Provides detection solution at scale for wider fields of interest – faster and more frequent surveys
- Allows Inline processing and reduces operational costs and HSE risk
- Provides ‘End to End’ Mission training and support from project planning, integration, acquisition, technical, post-processing to completion
- By standardising visual workflows for Cathx sensors to all sensors we are moving the workflow to a fully autonomous one which can be used to develop AI capabilities enhancing future MCM operations for example
