Underwater Acoustic Intelligence with Thales

In partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence, the Royal Navy and Thales, Mind Foundry have trialled NIGHTINGALE with S2087 to build on the system’s sensing capability.

This partnership proved the value of spiral development: continuous user feedback and rapid iteration delivered the right capability for future operators.

After successfully integrating with the Thales system, NIGHTINGALE dramatically reduced the amount of time it takes to triage contacts of interest, reducing workload and improving the speed and accuracy of tonal analysis.

CASE STUDY

Acoustic Intelligence with SEA KraitSense

The future of anti-submarine warfare data gathering and analysis will reflect the operational requirements to pivot towards digitising the North Atlantic.

Autonomous and lean-crewed systems gathering persistent air, surface, and subsurface data are a crucial part of this transition. The ability to gather this data from secure sensors is the first step. Potential increases in data gathered will require analysis and triaging for effective decision-making.

The combination of Mind Foundry’s software and SEA’s KraitSense hardware enables autonomous detection and classification of contacts of interest.

Human-Machine Intelligence

NIGHTINGALE provides warfare specialists with machine-speed decision support that enhances operational decision-making and reduces time to classification.

"It typically takes a sonar operator 14 years to become an expert user. NIGHTINGALE doesn’t just help new operators achieve the same level of expertise in a fraction of that time, it also helps expert operators do their work faster."
