With ROV design, development, and deployment the editorial focus of this month’s ON&T, we sat down for an exclusive chat with Chris Lade, Head of Marketing & Sales (Naval) at Saab UK, to get the latest insights into one of the leading manufacturers of electric underwater robotics.
The premise that underpins the science of buoyancy is quite simple; when a lighter medium is placed and contained in a heavier medium, an upward buoyant force is generated. This was first discovered and documented by, the Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor Archimedes in or around 250 BC.
It’s a world first. With the concerted use of a DriX uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) and a FlipiX remotely operated towed vehicle (ROTV), Exail continues to push the boundaries of marine technology to provide customers with a unique uncrewed solution that will redefine how operators carry out bathymetric and geophysical surveys.
Ocean technology has important applications for ocean sectors, whether traditional or emerging, as we seek to move faster, with greater safety and sustainability, better understanding our ocean and how climate change is impacting it, and the ability to efficiently leverage the power of data in making the best decisions.
Coastal regions are diverse ecosystems that support a myriad of economic and societal services. Various industry stakeholders, such as port authorities, shipping firms, tourism operators, and fisheries, to name but a few, rely on coastal habitats and their resources.
The subsea environment presents multiple challenges when it comes to the surveillance and maintenance of offshore assets. Among these, one prominent issue is poor visibility caused by choppy, turbid water.
VideoRay recently acquired Blue Ring Imaging, a St. Petersburg, Florida-based innovator known for its 3D visualization, multi-view perception and simulation technologies for unmanned systems.
The marine technology sector has reached an inflection point, with a critical mass of companies, consumers, and innovators advancing automation, autonomy, miniaturization, and digitalization. This community of practitioners has found a professional home within the Marine Technology Society (MTS) for the past 60 years.
EvoLogics, a high-tech provider of robotic solutions, sensor systems, and underwater data networks, is perhaps most immediately recognized among industry peers for designing and manufacturing the Sonobot 5 uncrewed surface vehicle (USV). The Sonobot is a well-established product with a remarkable track record in performing bathymetry, underwater object search, and subsea reconnaissance missions.
