Autonomous technology herald an exciting future for maritime applications. Building on our rich experience in the design and development of unmanned vessels, we develop autonomous vessels that ease manpower constraints, improve operational efficiencies, and most importantly, keep seas and crew operators safe.
In a significant step forward in unmanned technology development, we have transformed a manned tugboat into a Smart Autonomous Maritime Vessel (SMAV), enhancing operational efficiency and safety. This was achieved through the integration of autonomous waypoint navigation, a collision avoidance system and our proprietary NERVA Ship Management and Sensemaking System.
The VENUS Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is highly customisable, designed to meet the increasing demand for reconfigurable unmanned surface vessels capable of executing autonomous missions. Equipped with a comprehensive suite of sensors, including a combination of electro-optical and radar technologies, it ensures safe autonomous navigation in complex maritime environments. Its modular design enables seamless integration of various mission modules, allowing the USV to perform a wide range of tasks.
AUTONOMAST is designed to convert a manned vessel into an unmanned surface vessel for autonomous missions. It is suited for the defence, maritime security, oil and gas, windfarm, firefighting and shipping industries, enabling vessels to manoeuvre autonomously, intelligently and safely at sea.
A proven, modular autonomous underwater vehicle, MERCURY is designed for defence, commercial and research missions. Equipped with high-resolution sonar and advanced navigation systems, it provides precise seabed imagery and automated mine detection for efficient operations. Adaptable for tasks such as mapping, inspections and recovery, MERCURY ensures reliable performance in challenging environments, with streamlined deployment and intuitive software for ease of use.
JUPITER is designed for various applications, including:
Equipped with a solar roof with 2KW of solar estate, JUPITER efficiently charges onboard batteries to power its entire system.
Engineered for enhanced speed, superior maneuverability and exceptional seakeeping, the Long Endurance Unmanned Surface Vessel is a high-speed, long-endurance autonomous system. It is equipped with advanced technologies, including obstacle detection, a collision avoidance system and an intelligent power management system.
The Swift 18m USV offers configurable payload options tailored to meet specific mission needs. With the integration of an autonomous mast and mission payload system, it delivers superior operational flexibility, ensuring swift and safe mission execution.
