requirement for military mine warfare applications, where a trend is now being observed moving towards high-speed Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for fast transit into and out of operational areas. Towed sonar systems have the benefit of providing full resolution sonar data to the sonar operators onboard the surface vessel in real-time, which is a critical feature for search and survey operations requiring earliest possible prosecution of seabed targets. Onboard real time processing of sonar data also enables real-time online quality monitoring of sonar data. Passive towfish
