About UMIS (Unmanned Integrated MCM System)
UMIS is a robotics system developed by Exail for surveying or securing large or complex zones at sea as well as costal areas. This comprehensive and modular solution includes a wide range of unmanned vehicles such as USVs, UUVs ( AUVs, ROVs, MIDS), towed systems (sonars, sweeps) and UAVs. UMIS also integrates a comprehensive software suite, UMISOFT, allowing easy and complete management of the entire unmanned mission from preparation, planning and supervision, to data acquisition, processing analysis and management.
Deployed from the shore or from a mothership, UMIS enables to perform several tasks simultaneously, allowing to:
- Reduce the time of operations
- Provide more efficient use of human resources
In addition, the ship not having to enter the hazardous area, UMIS allows to conduct operations more safely compared to traditional solutions.
