DRASS and FLYSIGHT to Collaborate on Development of Underwater Traffic Control Centers

A cooperation agreement has been signed between DRASS and FLYSIGHT for the development of underwater traffic control centers.

As part of Olterra ship’s construction program dedicated to submarine rescue and underwater interventions, the development program for the first Underwater Operations Center of the Italian Navy, based on an important industrial patent of DRASS, has been launched. In this context, in anticipation of an expansion of its installation across all serving units of the Naval Forces, DRASS and FLYSIGHT have signed an important cooperation agreement for the development of new generation electronic cartography, georeferenced representation and management of seabed operations.

Marco Bellomo, Technical Director of DRASS, commented: “Structured knowledge of the seabed is a declared objective not only of the Navy but of all Italian institutional stakeholders with an underwater focus. We are proud to carry out this strategic program for which we count on the ability, passion, and technological value of our friends at FLYSIGHT.”

Andrea Masini, CEO of FLYSIGHT, added: “We are pleased and enthusiastic to collaborate with DRASS on the development of the Navy’s first Underwater Operations Centre: the proposed solution will provide new tools to maximize the situational awareness of operators involved in submarine rescue operations.”
