Carmenta Technology Empowers Atlas Elektronik’s SeaCat AUV

Atlas Elektronik GmbH are using Carmenta technology to support the operation of its uncrewed underwater system, SeaCat. This collaboration highlights the advanced capabilities of Carmenta’s geospatial technology in supporting autonomous underwater vehicles.

The SeaCat is a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) system designed for a wide range of missions, including hydrographic surveys, real-time data transmission, and detailed mapping of underwater structures. It can operate in unsupervised autonomous mode or as a remotely controlled vehicle (ROV).

Carmenta’s technology supports SeaCat operators by providing situational awareness through advanced real-time geospatial analysis.

The field of uncrewed systems is experiencing rapid advancements, with significant progress being made in autonomous operations across various environments. Whether in the air, on land, or underwater, Carmenta is committed to advancing technology and supporting our partners in their missions.

 

AUV features available in Carmenta technology

Carmenta technology features a range of capabilities that can be used for AUVs. These include:

  • Use and visualize Nautical charts IHO S-57 and S-63 in IHO S-52.
  • Bathymetry analysis including color ramps, isolines and altimetry.
  • Live weather data (GRIB and C-MAP).
  • Planning of safe vessel routes – find the optimal path in difficult conditions and avoid dangerous areas.
  • Overlay of live video streams from your underwater camera onto a 2D and 3D maps in real time.

Carmenta products are used in several surface and underwater systems. The mission planning and monitoring systems provide geo-referenced data, sensor data fusion, situational awareness displays, 3D visualization and more.
