Explore the power of modularity, precision, and strategic collaboration.
SH Defence, FORCIT Defence, and TKMS ATLAS ELEKTRONIK Finland present the CUBE™ Minelaying Module. A next-generation naval minelaying solution.
At the heart of this solution is SH Defence’s CUBE™ ECO system, a plug-and-play platform that enables rapid deployment of mission modules. The CUBE™ Minelaying Module are compatible with most known sea mine types and brands.
Mines can be deployed individually or in tactical patterns with GPS tracking, ensuring precision and strategic flexibility.
The system supports semi- or fully automatic deployment with minimal crew, even in high sea states.
This CUBE™ Minelaying Module is made possible through the combined strengths of SH Defence, FORCIT Defence, and TKMS ATLAS ELEKTRONIK Finland. Read more about each partner below.

TKMS Atlas Elektronik Finland
Experts in sensor and data integration, TKMS Atlas Elektronik Finland enhances situational awareness and command capabilities through cutting-edge technology that supports tactical planning and execution.

FORCIT Defence has been developing, designing, and manufacturing Influence Sea mines since 1980’s. The BLOCKER™ Smart Influence Sea Mine is part of FORCIT DEFENCE’s Sea Mine portfolio, all of which are equipped with the most advanced multi-domain Target Detection System.

SH Defence
Developer of the CUBE™ system, SH Defence enables modular mission adaptability, transforming standard vessels into advanced minelayers with rapid mobilization and minimal crew requirements.
With the Cube™ System, the Navy can adapt and turn any vessel of opportunity into effective mine layers in days or even a few hours.
The modular mine laying and mine storage approach empowers the Navy to avoid costly rebuilding or even the building of new vessels/plaforms, providing it with the flexibility it pursues.
Mine Layer Module Components:
- Cube™ Base Frame
Provides autonomous movement and secure, DNV-certified mounting. - Cube™ Skidding System
Ensures safe, automated module movement—even in rough sea conditions. - Cube™ Twist Lock System
