RE2 Robotics To Develop Underwater Autonomous System For The U.S. Navy

RE2 Robotics Receives $9.5 Million Contract to Develop Underwater Autonomous System for the U.S. Navy

RE2 Robotics, a leader in intelligent mobile manipulation systems, today announced that it has received a $9.5 million contract from the Office of Naval Research to create an underwater robotic system for the autonomous neutralization of underwater mines for the U.S. Navy.

The program, called Maritime Mine Neutralization System (M2NS), will utilize the RE2 Sapien™ Sea Class system to precisely place and attach neutralization devices to underwater mines and water-borne improvised explosive devices (WBIEDs).

RE2 will serve as the systems integrator for this program. In addition to RE2 Sapien Sea Class, the M2NS will use components, including RE2’s advanced computer vision and autonomy software, RE2 Detect™ and RE2 Intellect™, to enable the precise, autonomous, and clandestine neutralization of a target.
