Current Trends Driving Innovation and Efficiency in the Autonomous Mine Counter-Measure USV Market
Leading players in the autonomous mine counter-measure USV market are concentrating on pioneering technologies to enhance the safety, efficiency, and endurance of mine detection missions in contested maritime environments. One such advancement is autonomous launch and recovery systems (LARS) that enable USVs to deploy and retrieve towed sonar equipment without human intervention, minimizing operational hazards while extending mission durations.

For example, in December 2025, Kraken Robotics Inc., a Canadian firm known for subsea intelligence solutions including synthetic aperture sonar and robotic platforms, showcased its KATFISH USV Launch and Recovery System integrated with TKMS ATLAS UK's ARCIMS USV. This technology allows small USVs to autonomously conduct mine countermeasure and seabed survey operations using air-deployable, depth-rated towed synthetic aperture sonar. It offers high-resolution seabed imaging, real-time data streaming, and improved mine detection precision, all while removing the need for crewed vessels in high-risk naval mine zones.
