Operational SeaKeeper test yields high-accuracy minehunting results.
French naval shipbuilder DCN has completed the evaluation of results from a French Navy operational sea trial with the prototype SeaKeeper standoff mine countermeasures system. It was previously known as FDS3 (forward-deployed side-scan sonar) and used by the French in trials since 1999. The system was most recently tested off the Atlantic coast near Brest, France, last June, using the chartered 500t buoy tender MV Armorique as the mothership.
