The Belgian and Royal Netherlands navies have chosen ECA Group’s INSPECTOR 125-class USV under their ‘Mine Countermeasures’ capability replacement programme.
INSPECTOR 125 USV comes with a low magnetic and acoustic signature to prevent mine triggering, while its unsinkability feature keeps it afloat even during mine explosions.

Designed to integrate different payloads based on the mission to be carried out, it takes less than six hours to change from one configuration to another.
Furthermore, the drone can accommodate either the AUV and its LARS in ‘taxi mode’, or the towed sonar, or mine identification and disposal system, or divers and protection units.
ECA Group will provide 17 INSPECTOR 125 USVs from 2023.
Designed by MAURIC, which is ECA Group’s naval architecture company, this platform is drawn from the V2 New Generation rescue boats, which have been in service within the French National Society of Sea Rescue (SNSM) for around ten years.
