Seabat 7123 for Talisman

Its purpose is to find a safe and inexpensive system capable of tackling threats posed by mines and subsurface IED's in coastal waters, estuarine, riverine and port environments.

Talisman can be operated fully autonomously on pre-programmed missions but with capability for the operator to intervene throughout the mission should the operational situation change. The operator is able to react to communication with the vehicle and systems via RF or Iridium SatCom (while the vehicle is surfaced) and via acoustic communications systems (when vehicle is underwater).

The system employs an open architecture which enables BAE Systems integrate a wide variety of systems including commercial-of-the-shelf products. They chose SeaBat 7123 for the forward looking sonar because the basic requirement for mine warfare is the ability to be able to detect something at long range and be capable of clearing a good width of swath at the same time. The SeaBat 7123 is quite large for mounting a UUV but the Talisman can cope with that.

BAE Systems are looking for partnerships with other parts of industry, in order to share risk and share benefit with a common goal. RESON has a number of systems all with a common core and a common architecture that are easy to integrate with BAE's systems. At RESON's knowledge, this is the first time that a dedicated mine hunter sonar has been fitted to a UUV and we are very pleased that the SeaBat 7123 has been selected for this exciting project.
