ELWAVE

Summer doesn't slow down innovation. ELWAVE's production line remains fully operational. This week, another batch of our #ESENSE #OEM underwater electrometers is leaving our facility for an undisclosed customer supporting one of the world's most demanding maritime missions. Some programs cannot be discussed. The technology behind them can. Why measure underwater electric signatures? Electric signatures remain one of the most overlooked observables in underwater sensing, despite their strategic importance. For decades, naval mines have relied on UEP (Underwater Electric Potential) sensors because electric fields reveal information that acoustic and magnetic sensors simply cannot. They provide unique insights into: • Propulsion systems • ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) • Onboard electrical equipment • Underwater drones (AUVs, ROVs, UUVs and Gliders) • Other underwater electrical noise sources Together with acoustic and magnetic sensing, electric field measurements complete the underwater signature picture. This additional observable is becoming essential for both Signature Intelligence (#SIGINT) and Signature Management, providing richer platform characterization, improved target discrimination and enhanced situational awareness. ESENSE OEM Entirely designed, developed and programmed by ELWAVE, ESENSE OEM delivers the best performance in an ultra-compact OEM module approximately the size of a credit card, making integration into underwater platforms remarkably straightforward. Key features ✔ Wideband DC to 2 kHz ✔ Output data rate up to 4 kHz ✔ Ultra-low equivalent input noise: −199 dBV/m/√Hz @ 1 Hz ✔ Automatic self-calibration ✔ Dry titanium electrodes ✔ User-configurable digital filtering ✔ Ultra-low power consumption (~1.5 W) ✔ Credit-card-sized OEM form factor Electric field sensing is no longer a niche capability. It is rapidly becoming the missing piece of the underwater signature puzzle, complementing acoustic and magnetic sensing for: • Signature Intelligence (SIGINT) • Signature Management • Maritime Surveillance • Intruder Detection & Classification • Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) • Seabed Warfare (SBW) • Cable Tracking & Critical Underwater Infrastructure Protection At ELWAVE, we believe the future of underwater awareness is multi-physics. Electric signatures are part of that future. #UnderwaterSensing #DefenseTechnology #MaritimeSurveillance #UEP #ELFE #SIGINT #SignatureManagement #ASW #Submarine #AUV #ROV #Glider #SeabedWarfare #NavalInnovation #DualUse #NATO #DIANA

Très juste. Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant, c’est que cette dynamique ne concerne pas seulement l’anti-drone, mais touche déjà plusieurs couches de la défense tech française. On peut évidemment citer Harmattan AI, Alta Ares, EGIDE, ALM Méca, Asterodyn, Stryx AI, CERBAIR, DRONE XTR ou MC2 Technologies côté drones, intercepteurs et lutte anti-drone. Mais l’écosystème français va aussi plus loin : Comand AI, ChapsVision, Safran.AI (ex Preligens) / ex-Preligens, XXII côté IA, commandement et renseignement ; Unseenlabs, Look Up Space, Exotrail, Cailabs, ThrustMe, U-Space, PROMÉTHÉE Earth Intelligence côté spatial défense ; HarfangLab, Sekoia.io, GATEWATCHER côté cyber ; ou encore Shark Robotics, ELWAVE et Forssea Robotics côté robotique, maritime et capteurs. Ce qui est intéressant, c’est que cette dynamique semble déjà s’organiser en véritable chaîne technologique française : voir, comprendre, décider, communiquer, neutraliser, produire et déployer. Le vrai sujet sera maintenant le passage à l’échelle : commandes, doctrine d’emploi, intégration avec les grands industriels et capacité à industrialiser vite.

Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has released the #MCM Modernization Prize challenge aiming to accelerate next-generation Mine Countermeasure (MCM) capabilities for the US Navy. One of the key challenges highlighted in the solicitation is the ability to reliably reacquire, identify and classify bottom mines in complex operational environments, including partially buried mines, rocky seabeds, cluttered areas and high-current conditions. ELWAVE’s active electric imaging sensor #EPULSE has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to address exactly this challenge, mounted onto different #ROV (and #AUV). #EPULSE is field-proven, currently deployed in Ukraine and routinely used in commercial #UXO operations with performance levels consistent with the objectives outlined by DIU : > 60% probability of target reacquisition > 95% clutter rejection rate > 60% probability of classification < 40% probability of false alarm Gary BAGOT will be next week at #MINWARA26 (Mine Warfare Association). On Tuesday, 02 June, 10.15 10.45, Gary will present our EPULSE solution (From detection to neutralisation : A modular 'Find and Finish' MCM capability on a Man-Portable ROV'). Afficher la traduction

Excited to announce that ELWAVE will participate in the 18th International Mine Warfare Technology Symposium in San Diego #MINWARA26. We will showcase the latest operational advances of the #TETRAPULSE active electric sensor, integrated onto the VideoRay, an AV company #Defender #ROV platform, bringing a new layer of perception to the #MCM toolbox. Designed for complex seabed environments, #TETRAPULSE enables: ✅real-time electrical impedance seabed mapping ✅enhanced composite and metallic MLO discrimination ✅improved buried target detection ✅early rejection of non-relevant seabed contacts Compact, man-deployable and field-proven, the system is already supporting next-generation MCM operational capabilities. Gary BAGOT will deliver a technical presentation during the symposium and looks forward to engaging with the international MCM community on the future of underwater electric sensing technologies. #MineWarfare #MCM #ROV #EOD #UnderwaterTechnology #DefenseTechnology #SeabedMapping #MineCounterMeasures #ElectricSensing #VideoRay #ELWAVE
