Product Overview
Wide array of sensor packages
Our USV platforms are sensor-agnostic, accommodating a wide range of geophysical remote sensing equipment from industry leading manufacturers, such as single- and multibeam echo sounders, side scan sonars, sub-bottom profilers, environmental water/air quality sensors, LiDAR and radar, SVP sensors, aquatic habitat camera systems, surveillance equipment, EQ/IR camera systems, and more.
These sensor packages have proven capabilities in performing a number of different surveys, including seabed characterization studies, bathymetry, archaeological discoveries, UXO identification studies and more. Additionally, they are instrumental in ongoing seabed monitoring efforts, providing critical data for environmental and geological studies.
Diverse USV solutions
The solutions we provide for survey acquisition caters to a wide range of marine environments, balancing cost-effectiveness with high performance. For enclosed and shallow waterways and areas, the fully electric
Otter USV offers a portable and sustainable sensor platform for cost-efficient and high quality operations in more confined locations.
For open-ocean mapping and surveying our larger USVs, Mariner and Mariner X contains the durability, functionality and payload capacity for enduring complex operations in coastal and offshore areas. We offer a variety of functionalities and configurations on our vessels, ensuring each solution meet the various needs for marine mapping and surveying. This include applications ranging from detailed seabed analysis to extensive marine mapping, providing the maritime industries with the tools necessary to achieve precise and comprehensive survey results.
Reduce cost and risk
USVs allow for autonomous and remotely operated surveying, requiring fewer personnel compared to traditional crewed surveys. Operators can manage these vessels remotely from shore-based control centers, significantly reducing the need for on-site staff. This not only enhances operational efficiency and flexibility, but also reduces health, safety and environmental risks for offshore surveyors.
Our USVs are controlled and monitored with the Vehicle Control Station (VCS), one of the core components of our Autonomous Navigation System. The VCS offers innovative features and optional functionalities, such as the survey data capturing software, SeaCapture. This software functionality offers real-time visualization of sonar data, ensuring accuracy, efficiency and data quality control. We deliver the complete turn-key solution for safe, sustainable and cost-effective coastal and offshore surveys and studies.
