OCEA, DCI, and ECA unveiled their common solution for MCM Operations - risk control and efficiency for Navies

This offer provides navies with a solution consisting of: a ship designed by OCEA that enhances aluminum’s natural qualities and delivers an “increased survivability” to better protect the lives of crew members, the ship’s assets and onboard systems. An unmanned mine-counter-measure system (UMS) developed by ECA Group.

This offer provides Navies with a solution consisting of:

• A ship designed by OCEA that enhances aluminum’s natural qualities and delivers an “increased survivability” to better protect the lives of crew members, the ship’s assets and onboard systems.
• An unmanned mine-counter-measure system (UMS) developed by ECA Group composed of autonomous and remotely-controlled robots with a dedicated mission management system used to carry out mine counter measure operations faster than traditional solutions and avoiding the need for human intervention in the mine field.
• An operational concept, training solutions and technical assistance, developed by DCI, specialized in the mine warfare domain, the implementation of robotic systems and the transfer of know-how from the French Navy to foreign naval forces, which guarantees the effectiveness and the long-term sustainability of the solution.

OCEA, DCI and ECA are thus able to provide Navies with an effective capability to carry out mine counter measure operations while reducing the risks for the crews and deployed means.

This solution will also be of interest for the insurance companies of private stakeholders or the decision-makers of countries that are self-insured for military applications.

Specialized in the design, construction and support of aluminum ships for 30 years, OCEA exports 95% of its production to Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. With its policy of continuous innovation focusing on customer satisfaction, OCEA has developed a competitive comprehensive offer of proven vessels and services to meet the specific requirements of Navies and administrations in charge of managing and securing the maritime territory.

Reference operator of the French Ministry of Defense for the transfer of French military know-how abroad, to the benefit of the armed forces of countries friendly to France, DCI Group has been operating for more than 40 years across the entire defense and security spectrum. DCI can claim to hold the “French Armed Forces Training” certification.

Recognized for its expertise in robotics, automated systems, simulation, and industrial processes, since 1936 ECA Group develops innovative and comprehensive technological solutions for complex missions in hostile or restrictive environments. The Group is the leader in remotely-controlled and autonomous solutions specialized in the detection and destruction of mines.

80 countries and 9 of the 10 largest armies in the world are equipped with solutions developed by ECA Group.
