Defense and Security

Navigating Without GPS and in Low Visibility

Defense and security teams often need to operate in environments where GNSS is denied, visibility is limited and conditions change quickly. Reliable underwater navigation and situational awareness are essential for unmanned systems, diver-support operations, inspection missions and autonomous platforms.

How General Oceans delivers:
General Oceans companies provide Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs), inertial navigation support, compact multibeam sonars and forward-looking sonar technologies that help underwater vehicles navigate, avoid obstacles and operate with greater confidence.

Relevant capabilities:
DVL, INS support, bottom-track and water-track navigation, forward-looking sonar, compact AUV and drone sensors, OEM integration.

Mine Countermeasures (MCM)

Maritime defense operations depend on understanding what is below the surface. Whether teams are inspecting an area, verifying a target, surveying the seabed or supporting mine-countermeasure workflows, they need high-resolution underwater imaging that performs in difficult environments.

How General Oceans delivers:
General Oceans companies provide high-resolution side scan sonar, synthetic aperture sonar hardware, multibeam imaging sonar, transducer design and OEM sonar integration for towed systems, vehicles and mission-specific platforms.

Relevant capabilities:
Side scan sonar, SAS hardware, multibeam imaging, transducer design, custom sonar integration.

Extending Human Reach Underwater

Many underwater defense and security tasks require intervention, inspection or manipulation in places that are difficult, hazardous or time-consuming for people to access directly. Portable, intuitive and mission-adaptable robotic systems can help teams act more effectively in the field.

How General Oceans delivers:
General Oceans companies provide portable robotic vehicles, hybrid ROV/AUV capability, high-dexterity electric manipulators and custom payload integration for defense, inspection and intervention missions.

Relevant capabilities:
Portable ROV/AUV platforms, electric manipulators, end effectors, payload integration, operator-focused interfaces.
