SUMICO – MODULAR
MINELAYING SYSTEM
Forcit has developed and patented the modular minelaying system, SUMICO, which provides plug-in minelaying capability to any ship capable of mission module handling. SUMICO adds mine laying capability to every vessel large enough to carry one or several 20 ft containers. One SUMICO container can hold 12 BLOCKERs, and containers can be connected to each other, in which case the number of mines to be deployed can be increased. Containers can also be used for storage of the mines. BLOCKER and COASTAL mines can be acquired with the SUMICO.
To utilize the capabilities of naval mines to full potential, reliable planning and execution system is essential. SUMICO can be integrated and delivered with ATLAS ELEKTRONIK Finland’s Minelaying Planning and Execution System.
