EXPEDITIONARY SEABED SURVEY
Turn Seabed Data Into Operational Insight.
SightGlass is combines advanced multibeam sonar with mission software developed in partnership with Mythos AI, transforming BlackSea USVs into autonomous subsea survey platforms.
Designed for expeditionary mine countermeasures, SightGlass rapidly surveys the seabed, generates detailed mapping data, and identifies underwater contacts for follow-on investigation and neutralization.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO MCM
Rethinking Expeditionary Mine Countermeasures.
Critical survey capacity should not depend on a small number of specialized platforms.
Traditional mine countermeasure operations can require dedicated vessels, substantial logistical support, and significant time to position capability in the operating area. When survey assets are limited, commanders may have fewer options for expanding coverage or responding across multiple locations.
Distribute the survey mission across modular, unmanned systems.
SightGlass brings seabed survey and contact generation to BlackSea USVs, creating an expeditionary capability that can be deployed in numbers and scaled to the mission. Instead of concentrating survey capacity on one large platform, operators can distribute coverage across multiple systems.
More systems in more places, sized to the mission rather than the platform.
MISSION WORKFLOW
From Deployment to Contact Generation.
SightGlass brings seabed survey, data processing, and contact generation together in one modular payload.
Deploy
Install SightGlass aboard BlackSea USV and rapidly deploy the system into the mission area.
Survey
Collect high-resolution 3D side scan sonar data while USV surveys the operating area.
Generate Contacts
Process and review survey data to identify and precisely locate mine-like contacts for follow-on operations.
