Hi,
I would like to discuss an issue I've encountered with a certain aspect of the simulation. Upon investigation, I've found that the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) is unable to identify any submerged contacts beyond rudimentary information indicating that something is submerged.

The UUVs I've tested were equipped with sonars (Active Mode) and CCTV cameras. However, even when positioned at the same location and depth as the target, they were unable to determine the class of the target (or even whether it's a submarine or a wreck).

Furthermore, even after 30 minutes in simulation, the UUV was still unable to determine the speed of the contact, despite the fact that the contact was stationary, which should be possible using sonar data.

I'm unsure if this is a mistake in the setup or a misinterpretation on my part, or if it's something that has not yet been implemented into the simulation.

(Of course, one could assume the nature of the contact based on its stationary position and maintained depth, but the ability to accurately identify the target is crucial for the scoring in the scenario.)

Thank you for any future response.
Kind Regards,

Hi Orzel

Could you provide a .save with the exact setup you are using for this issue? This will help us to look at the same sensors/units with the exact geometry you are using

Thank you

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the delayed response.

I have uploaded a simple scenario file that involves an underwater vehicle searching for underwater contacts. The vehicle is capable of detecting and locating potential contacts. However, it is unable to establish the class of the target or any other information about the contact.

Thank you for any response and suggestions.
Wish you a great day!

No problem,

We're investigating the issue but seems that yes, EO sensors currently don't work for underwater contacts
