Thales Unveils Deployable AI Mine Warfare System
Expeditionary PathMaster integrates legacy and uncrewed systems with AI-driven sonar analysis achieving 99% classification accuracy, enhancing naval mine-clearance flexibility and speed.
- Thales launched the Expeditionary PathMaster, a portable mine countermeasures control system enabling navies to conduct full clearance missions from shore, small craft, or existing warships.
- The system builds on technology delivered to the French Navy and Royal Navy under the Franco-British MMCM program, incorporating capabilities adopted by international users.
- Utilizing AI-assisted Mi-Map and Thales M-Cube software, the system processes sonar data four times faster than conventional tools and achieves 99% classification accuracy, Thales claims.
- Trials with The Lithuanian Navy demonstrated how the platform integrates conventional minehunters with uncrewed systems through a single command architecture for hybrid operations.
- Following NATO exercise deployments, the basic system could be delivered within about six months, though Expeditionary PathMaster remains uncontracted with any specific navy.
