Saildrone has announced that its Surveyor-class of unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has received full classification from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
The H-9 can carry multiple geophysical sensors simultaneously, such as side-scan sonar, magnetometer, multi-beam echo sounder and sub-bottom profilers.
Semco Maritime announces the investment in STORMBORN alongside Final Frontier, supporting the revolutionary X-WAVE USV (Unmanned Surface Vessel) technology.
The Greyshark is equipped with a silent electric propulsion system, a non-metallic hull resistant to high pressure, and is characterized by a very low level of hydroacoustic and echo sounder visibility.
Developing the technologies for efficient and reliable seafloor monitoring is paramount when considering the potential for socioeconomic harm represented by megathrust earthquakes.
Throughout the operation, the Saildrone Voyagers maintained a 100% persistent presence on station, delivering 24/7 wide-area surveillance and real-time maritime domain awareness
