Mission effectiveness and efficiency are vital. Thales meets navies’ needs through an advanced MCM mission management system, transforming planning and performance across all mission types and phases.

OUR STRENGTHS IN MISSION MANAGEMENT

Operations optimization

Mine countermeasure operations require a smooth transition between the different phases of the action. M-CUBE allows for optimizing planning and enhancing operational efficiency.
Plug-and-play & scalable

The open and modular architecture of M-Cube allows for rapid integration of numerous vehicles and payloads, ensuring strong interoperability, as demonstrated during NATO exercises. M-Cube enables each navy to customize its Toolbox, while guaranteeing optimal collaborative work.
Action monitoring

High pace of uncrewed operations increases the risk of operator cognitive overload. M-Cube helps deliver a synthetic vision of ongoing operations, enabling the operator to ensure navigational safety, manage water space effectively, and take a step back to make wiser decisions.

Powerful, scalable support for MCM missions

M-Cube, a mission management system, supports all types of MCM missions. Its open architecture enables easy, cyber-secure integration with conventional or uncrewed platforms. Combined with the MiMap data suite, M-Cube enhances and automates detection and classification. With task-unit functionality and interoperability, it allows navies customize fleets and boost situational awareness.

Today’s mines are hard to find and can detect specific signatures. They can paralyse shipping and destroy valuable assets. Navies are addressing this challenge, looking to Thales for innovative solutions. Systems like M-Cube, which support any MCM mission and phase, and offer plug-and-play integration with other systems, enable navies to take decisive, fleet-wide action against this evolving threat.

OUR CAPABILITIES WITH M-CUBE

M-Cube’s Tactical Operation Management defines tasks with their when and where, which can be updated anytime. Task Units customize a navy’s fleet, capabilities, and interoperability. Asset Mission Management creates detailed plans, allowing control over planning levels, scheduling the fleet via intuitive interfaces, and defining and monitoring all mission activities for effective operations.

With M-Cube, navies optimize their fleets in real time by adapting payloads and navigation to varying environments. They can access system status and real-time asset data to respond to unforeseen events. Multiple operators share data simultaneously and collaborate on tactical operations, enabling tactical superiority and enhancing mission efficiency.

M-Cube creates a comprehensive tactical picture by fusing data from S57 charts, AML, tidal currents, AIS, radar tracks, contacts, high-resolution sonar mosaics, and 3D bathymetry. It allows multiple operators to share data in real time and collaborate on several operations simultaneously, providing tactical superiority and enhancing mission efficiency.

Thales’ MiMap – a software suite for sonar data analysis – can be seamlessly integrated into M-Cube’s open architecture. Leveraging transformative, AI-based data analysis, MiMap automates and enhances object detection and classification, reducing operator workload. M-Cube can manage multiple parallel sonar analysis sessions with MiMap, providing real-time updates on session progress and detected objects.
