Q-FIT SENSOR MOUNT

A standardised, adaptable hull mount for FLANQ USVs, enabling rapid payload swapping and enhanced operational efficiency for hull-mounted sensors.

Integrating hull-mounted sensors onto USVs can often be a complex and time-consuming process. FLANQ’s Q-FIT universal hull mount simplifies this process, providing a standardised and adaptable solution for installing a variety of sensors, including Doppler, acoustic, and sonars. With Q-FIT, submersed payloads can be swapped within one hour, significantly reducing downtime and maximising operational flexibility. When interfaced with Q-SPINE, further efficiencies are gained in terms of payload space, weight and power budget savings.

RAPID PAYLOAD SWAPPING

Q-FIT enables submersed payload swaps within one hour, a significant improvement over traditional methods that can take several hours. This rapid turnaround time, together with innovations including Q-SWAP, reduce servicing delaying between missions, allowing for quick reconfiguration and redeployment of the USV for different tasks, from visual surveillance to beach head surveys.

RAPID PAYLOAD SWAP, STANDARDISED FLANGE, IMPROVED HYDRODYNAMICS

STANDARDISED FLANGE

Q-FIT features a standardised flange design, providing a consistent mounting interface for various sensors. This simplifies integration and allows for interchangeability between different sensor types without requiring custom modifications to the hull, reducing engineering costs and lead times. Q-FIT’s design prioritises adaptability, robustness, and performance making it the ideal solution for deploying and managing hull-mounted sensors on uncrewed platforms.

Q-FIT provides rapid payload swapping, simplified integration, and enhanced USV performance for hull-mounted sensor deployments.

FEATURES

1

IMPROVED SPEED AND ENDURANCE

Compared to traditional plate mounting solutions, Q-FIT’s design contributes to improved USV speed and endurance.

2

CABLE AND CONNECTOR ACCOMMODATION

Q-FIT is designed to accommodate multiple cables and large connectors, eliminating the need for complex cable routing and additional hull penetrations.

3

REDUCED LIFECYCLE COSTS

Q-FIT contributes to lower lifecycle costs for USV operations. By simplifying maintenance, reducing downtime, and enabling the use of common sensor interfaces.

4

FUTURE-PROOFING AND UPGRADABILITY

Q-FIT’s modular design allows for easy integration of future sensor technologies and upgrades, avoiding the need for costly and time-consuming hull modifications.
