Thales launches Expeditionary PathMaster, a proven-at-sea system boosted by AI, to conduct full mine countermeasures missions anywhere in the world

Thales launches Expeditionary PathMaster. Based on an innovative expeditionary portable operations centre (e-POC), this solution enables naval forces to conduct mine countermeasures missions anywhere in the world.

Thales’ Expeditionary PathMaster allows a unique hybrid mine warfare capacity, which integrates manned and unmanned assets.

Thales has already delivered the first autonomous, cyber-secure drone systems to the French Navy and the UK Royal Navy, and has also been selected by the Republic of Singapore Navy.

Combining Thales’ expertise in cybersecurity and advanced artificial intelligence through cortAIx (Thales AI accelerator), the system processes sonar data up to four times faster.

Expeditionary PathMaster is a scalable and interoperable solution, ready to go from harbour to open sea.

Thales has been a world leader in mine countermeasures for more than 50 years. Its solutions enable the navies to accurately detect, classify, localise, identify and if needed neutralize mines in real-time in the most complex regions in the world.
