SEMA TRAINING AUV

A versatile and cost-effective platform for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and sonar operator training, simulating a range of underwater threats.

The SEMA Autonomous Underwater Vehicles provides a realistic and adaptable platform for training naval personnel in ASW and sonar operations. By simulating various underwater threats, from submarines to torpedoes, the training target allows trainees to develop critical skills in detection, classification, tracking, and engagement in a controlled and cost-effective environment. This enhances training effectiveness and prepares personnel for real-world scenarios.

SEMA is designed to train every platform, from ASW aircraft and helicopters to submarines and frigates.

REALISTIC THREAT SIMULATION

The SEMA platform can simulate a variety of underwater targets with both active and passive acoustic signatures, speeds, and manoeuvrability profiles. This enables the creation of complex training scenarios that challenge sonar operators and ASW teams, improving their ability to detect and classify diverse threats in realistic conditions. This includes simulating both conventional and advanced submarine threats.

REDUCING COST, REDUCING RISK

SEMA provides a cost-effective alternative to live target exercises, reducing the need for expensive and logistically complex deployments of real submarines or other naval assets. This allows for more frequent and comprehensive training exercises, maximising training value and improving overall operational readiness. The deployment of SEMA also mitigates the risks associated with live ordnance training.

SEMA is an autonomous, recoverable, acoustic and magnetic target vehicle dedicated to enhancing Europe’s ASW capabilities.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to some common questions about this product. Our support team is here to help with any specific questions you may have.

SPEAK TO SUPPORT

Our ASW training needs to cover a wide range of threat profiles, from conventional submarines to more advanced, quieter vessels. How adaptable is the SEMA target in simulating these diverse acoustic signatures?

We already have established ASW training programs and infrastructure. How easily can SEMA be integrated into our existing training CONOPS?

Live ASW exercises with real submarines are very expensive. How does SEMA offer a cost-effective alternative while still providing high-quality training?

How does SEMA support post-exercise analysis and debriefing to maximise learning outcomes?
