Unveiled at the beginning of the summer during Operation I-Naval in Toulon, the UHV MANTA, both USV and AUV, was visible on the stand of the Ministry of the Armed Forces throughout the EURONAVAL exhibition in Paris, Le Bourget.

On this occasion Marine Tech, the DGA – Directorate General for Armaments and the Defense Innovation Agency had the pleasure of presenting in more detail the UHV MANTA, a unique drone redefining the standards of surface operations and of great depth.

Marine Tech also had the honor of welcoming and presenting this new generation drone to the Minister of Defense (Sébastien Lecornu), to the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces (Thierry Burkhard), to the Director General of the (Emmanuel Chiva) and the director of the Defense Innovation Agency.

This event was an opportunity to present the new strategic alliance between Marine Tech and Hologarde (ADP Group) which gave birth to the MarineGarde solution, a solution as complete as it is unique for 3D protection (air/surface/underwater ) of sensitive sites. With a first objective, the 2024 Olympics.

 

On Wednesday, October 19 at the House of Creativity Chalucet in Toulon, was held the 1st ceremony of trophies TPM organized by Toulon Provence Mediterranean.

This ceremony rewards local companies and actors for their involvement in the territory and their contribution to the influence of the metropolis.

On this occasion, Marine Tech received the “Economy of the Sea” award for its innovations around two themes: access to drinking water with HELIO and ocean exploration projects in partnership with the Navy and the University of Toulon.

Marine Tech would like to thank the Toulon Provence Méditerranée Metropolis, TVT Innovation and the South Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region for their unfailing support and trust.

Marine Tech presented its latest drone innovation at Operation I NAVAL 2022 on Thursday, July 7, 2022 : the MANTA UHV.

The MANTA Unmanned Hybrid Vehicle is a multi-media drone designed to carry out missions from the surface as well as underwater. Capable of carrying additional payloads in addition to multiple sensors: side scan sonar, multibeam echosounder, current profiler, hydrophone and HD cameras, the UHV MANTA is aimed at the naval defense and surveillance markets as well as oceanography and marine works.

During a live demonstration at the end of the event, the first prototype of this technology was unveiled. Marine Tech would like to thank the DGA – Direction Générale de l’Armement, the Defense Innovation Agency, the University of Toulon, TVT Innovation, the South Region – Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Toulon Provence Méditerranée, the GICAN as well as all the partners who have allowed us to present the fruits of our latest work in ocean exploration

On July 6th and 7th, the TVT Technology Day exhibition was held at the Neptune Convention Center in Toulon. Marine Tech had the pleasure to participate and present the RSV Scan Drone solution.

This solution carried by Marine Tech, Scalian, IVM Technologies, Hologarde and ENNOVIA is a USV platform that can be equipped with a ROV with a photogrammetric camera and an aerial drone.

RSV Scan Drone allows to realize 3D scans of aerial and underwater structures, 3D digital twins, inspection with a high resolution…

Marine Tech’s primary activity is the research and exploitation of freshwater springs that gush up from the bottom of the sea.

These underwater springs are natural phenomena that can be found in all the seas of the world. For the most part, they are ancient land springs formed several thousand years ago when sea levels were lower than today.

Marine Tech has developed a method and specific means to explore these deposits.

This week, Thalassa broadcasts a retrospective of an adventure that began more than 20 years ago…

Thalassa: The dowsers of the sea

PROJET

Marine Tech and the Thales DMS (Defense Missions Systems) team, finalists in the THALES 2021 Hackathon “The Voice of the Drones”, placed second and received the ESG (Environment, Society and Government) Jury’s special prize for their Green attitude.

As part of the Hackathon 2021 challenge, which aims to stimulate innovation, THALES presented a series of projects to several companies last October. The purpose of these projects was to use drones to implement payloads and technological bricks used by THALES in its maritime activities.

After selection, Marine Tech was chosen to work with the THALES DMS team (Brest) on the “FLASHig” project, which consists of using Marine Tech’s drones and an innovative deployment process for the deployment of a compact sonar. This solution will allow Thales to automate their missions through the use of drones.

Beyond the price, it is a cooperation between an SME and a large group. This cooperation should continue through a development programme in which Marine Tech will be involved.

Marine Tech would like to thank Thales and its team in Brest for their confidence and the encouraging prospects for such a development in the months to come.

OBJECTIVES

Multi-environment monitoring of sensitive maritime or coastal areas, assisted by drones

PROJECT

The South Region (Région Sud), the SAFE Cluster, the Pôle Mer Méditerranée and the Pôle OPTITEC organized on October 6, 2021 in Hyères (France), an experimentation and demonstration day dedicated to global solutions for securing nautical events (including with a view to the 2024 Olympic Games) and maritime infrastructure.

Among the 3 consortia selected by a committee of experts, the consortium led by Marine Tech, including Thales, MyDataModels and DAT Solutions, presented its RSV Scan Drone with BlueGuard technology.

The RSV Scan Drone, assisted with image recognition and artificial intelligence, is a permanent surveillance solution to monitore, detect, classify and track objects and threats in real time.

The RSV deploying its captive aerial drone (UAV) provides surface and aerial surveillance, while the BlueGuard sonar system allows for continuous underwater and surface surveillance.
The position of the detected track is automatically transmitted to the RSV, which can move quickly to it, act by sound signals or investigate the area by ROV.

We are proud to announce that Marine Tech was honored during Operation i-Naval 2021, receiving the Regional Naval Innovation Award from François de Canson, Vice President of the Region responsible for economic development and attractiveness, for our MANTA drone project, designed for surface, subsurface, and underwater operations.

We had already made our mark in 2019 during Operation i-Naval and successfully conducted experiments for the surveillance of the Toulon naval base with our surface drone. Furthermore, our company won a DGA tender for surface drones used for bathymetric surveys. These achievements are the result of our team’s dedication and our ongoing commitment to innovation.

We look forward to continuing our mission by pushing the boundaries of naval technology and contributing to the safety and prosperity of our region.
