The ATLAS Remote Combined Influence Minesweeping System (ARCIMS) is an 11.2-meter Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) developed by ATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK, designed to execute a range of naval missions with a primary focus on mine countermeasure (MCM) operations. Its modular design allows for rapid reconfiguration to support various roles, including minesweeping, mine hunting and disposal, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), maritime security, and force protection. The platform’s compact size and portability enable rapid deployment into operational theaters, and its high-speed capability (exceeding 40 knots) ensures quick transit to and from mission areas. The ARCIMS system reduces operator workload by automating “dull, dangerous, and dirty” tasks, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing risk to personnel. It can be operated from a mother ship or shore-based control station, offering flexibility in various operational scenarios.

The ARCIMS USV is equipped with advanced autonomous navigation systems that comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). Its ‘sense and avoid’ capability is facilitated by a multi-sensor suite, including radar, electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), and Automatic Identification System (AIS) technologies, enabling the USV to detect static and moving obstacles and execute collision avoidance maneuvers automatically. The autonomy framework allows for mission planning, execution, and post-mission analysis with reduced operator intervention, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. Additionally, ARCIMS supports the launch, recovery, and control of off-board sensors such as towed sonars, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), further expanding its mission capabilities.
