Surface and underwater vehicles and swarms

We develop, integrate and customize uncrewed surface vessels, underwater vehicles (AUV and ROV) and the swarm systems that tie them together, from a single platform and its payload to multi-vehicle missions.

01 — Capabilities

From one vehicle to a swarm

Above and below the surface: platforms, payloads and multi-vehicle cooperation.

Swarms

Surface vessels and underwater vehicles working as one: task allocation, cooperative navigation and positioning, and acoustic, optical and radio links between the platforms.

Uncrewed surface vessels (USV)

Platform design, propulsion and navigation for remote-controlled and autonomous operation. They carry sensors or relay communication for vehicles below.

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV)

Hull, propulsion, navigation and control, developed and integrated for the depth, range and payload each mission needs.

Remotely operated vehicles (ROV)

Tethered vehicles with cameras, lights, sonar and manipulators for underwater inspection and close-range work.

Payload integration

Selection, integration and testing of sonar, cameras, hydrophones, water-quality sensors and communication modules.

Underwater communication and networking

Acoustic, optical and radio links, with surface gateways as relays, that join seabed nodes, underwater vehicles, surface vessels and shore into one network.

Custom builds

We modify an existing platform for a new job or build one from scratch, from a single prototype to a small series.

02 — Applications

Where they work

Several platforms at once cover more water in less time.

  • Ocean monitoring

    Several vehicles sample water quality and environmental data at the same time over a wider area.

  • Pipeline and structure inspection

    Autonomous or remote-controlled inspection along subsea pipelines, platform legs and piers.

  • Seabed mapping and search

    Vehicles survey the seabed in formation and shorten search times.

  • Ports and channels

    Routine patrols and data collection in harbours and shipping channels.

  • Marine ranching and aquaculture

    Water-quality monitoring and underwater inspection of net pens and farming areas.

  • Research and teaching

    Open platforms that universities and institutes can build on.

03 — Process

From requirements to delivery

Every project moves through five stages.

  1. Requirements

    We agree on the mission, operating depth, range, payload and how the vehicles cooperate.

  2. Design

    We choose or design the platforms, configure the payload and plan the communication.

  3. Build and integration

    We build the platforms, integrate the payload and bring up hardware and software.

  4. Testing

    We test in a tank first, then at sea, to verify performance and reliability.

  5. Delivery and support

    We deliver the platforms with documentation, training, deployment and after-sales support.
