**High resolution classification.**

**Long range detection.**

**In operation in NATO and non-NATO- Navies.**

### Detect and classify Mines. Wherever, whenever.

Modern naval operations require uncompromising precision and full control when facing underwater threats. For mine countermeasures, advanced sensor technology is essential to ensure safety and mission success.

### Capabilities

To confidently confront the threat of modern mines, a dedicated Mine Countermeasures (MCM) platform demands a sensor that delivers exceptional reliability and exceptional high-resolution coverage across extensive ranges. The hull-mounted sonar HMS-12M stands as the cornerstone of minehunting operations. It delivers superior resolution at broad distances, empowering more effective MCM missions—including minehunting, mine and obstacle avoidance, and route surveying—with precision and strength.

### USPs

Equipped with multiple frequencies for precise detection and classification, this system excels at identifying bottom mines, anchor mines, and semi-buried threats. Its stabilized antenna enables continuous tracking of detected objects even under demanding conditions up to sea state 5. Designed for mine detection, obstacle avoidance, and route surveying, it combines powerful performance with a user-friendly interface that ensures ease of use in every mission.
