  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for firefighting

  OceanAlpha is developing an autonomous firefighting vessels that allows fast response times to fire dangers to improve the safety and security needs of maritime firefighting. The USV would assist in extinguishing the fire source first and foremost, as it has the greatest possibility of controlling the risk level. Since it is an unmanned vessel, it has the ability to complete close-range firefighting while keeping firefighters out of danger. It can also be utilized as a surveillance or rescue vessel in...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for hydrographic survey

  The OceanAlpha USV is a state of the art performance survey boat with extraordinary performance. It integrates a single beam/multi beam echo sounder, GNSS/RTK, a camera, and an obstacle avoidance system. The wide bandwidth radio station allows the operator to see precise bathymetric data results in real time. These USVs are beneficial not only for mapping shallow, murky waters, but also for improving the efficiency of our hydrographic operations. Since 2010, OceanAlpha has been working with USVs to provide...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for oceanographic survey

  So, what is the next step for USV technology? Developing larger, longer endurance USVs and taking them beyond shallow waters. OceanAlpha has continued its quest to develop autonomous vessels, integrating them with multibeam sonar, sub-bottom profilers, side scan sonar, CTD, SVP, and LiDAR capabilities for the oceanographic survey community. OceanAlpha’s USVs have been placed with lead users in the markets and have been applied from coastal oceanographic surveying to open sea areas, including the Antarctic...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for water sampling and monitoring

  OceanAlpha makes unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for water quality professionals that sample, monitor, or survey large areas of water surfaces. Traditional methods require at least two technicians in a full-sized boat, going from site to site to collect samples or make measurements. The use of a USV reduces the amount of time, labor and equipment needed to collect water quality data when compared to traditional methods. Agencies have seen more than 6x more improvements in efficiency, while simultaneously...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for water discharge measurement

  OceanAlpha’s autonomous hydrographic surveying boat has been applied to the mining industry for tailing dam ponds and tailing storage facilities (TSFs) and has been utilized in more common applications such as lakes, rivers, reservoirs and oceans. Set up the survey way-points and the boat will automatically begin surveying and acquiring online bathymetric data using its built-in GPS navigation system. USV surveying technology has been proven to be a great alternative to replace traditional manned surveying...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for surveillance

  There has been an increase in the use of autonomous patrol boats in extreme environments for reconnaissance and surveillance where demands for precision, endurance, and reliability are paramount. Maritime and border force customers work with us to develop unmanned patrol boats. At OceanAlpha, we have experience working with and developing various interfaces for propulsion systems, including outboard motors, diesel oil propellers, and water jets for high speed operations. Our USV is fitted with a high-resolution...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for search & rescue

  The safety of rescuers is a significant issue and must be ensured in any circumstance, including during maritime search and rescue operations. Rescuers are forced to adapt to extreme conditions or must suspend operations due to external factors quite often. However, rescue response time is a major factor in the success of these types of operations, due to the reduced survival time of victims. USV assets can complement the role of search and rescue (SAR) teams because of their ability to operate in...

  Unmanned surface vehicle solutions for oil & gas

  Robotics and underwater vehicles have been used in the oil and gas industry for decades. Without the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the industry would be far less efficient than it is today. In recent years, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) were introduced to the industry and offered a variety of solutions that aided in lowering costs and improving the efficiency of offshore operations. OceanAlpha has been working with oil and gas customers to provide...
