Safe navigation through sea mine detection
Professor Andreas Karcher and his team at the Institute of Applied Computer Science at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich are researching a system in cooperation with the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Schiffe und Marinewaffen, Maritime Technologie und Forschung (WTD 71) that helps to detect sea mines under water more effectively than previously possible. Sea mines are a danger to shipping. They have a serious impact on the feasibility of operations and on operational procedures. The more automatically they can be rendered harmless, the less manpower is required. Automatic detection of this hazard plays a key role here. This must be analysed in the operational system context. With the same systemic...
