The benefits of using an USV over a traditional fully manned vessel:

  • Safety – eliminate personnel on the water, minimize risk to crew and client staff
  • Logistics – easier to deploy and recover (can be deployed by hand from shoreline)
  • Coverage – investigation of confined areas and shallow water; increased maneuverability

The USV platform can be equipped with a wide array of sensor and/or packages such as:

  • Side Scan Sonar
  • Single or Multi-beam Echo Sounders
  • Sub-bottom Profilers
  • Above & Below Water Cameras
  • Environmental Parameter Sensor (i.e. Temperature, Turbidity, Conductivity, etc.)
  • Micro-ROV Deployment
  • Sediment Characterization Equipment
  • Sediment Sampling Equipment
