eSonar describes a low-footprint perception suite for underwater vehicles, including micro-AUVs. Bottom-tracking, obstacle and surfacing-clearance sensing aim to provide immediate situational information alongside the vehicle’s survey work; public material does not identify a completed naval mine-countermeasure installation.
