The American maritime technology firm ThayerMahan, Inc. and Australian autonomous uncrewed vessel developer Ocius Technology Ltd have announced that they will collaborate to demonstrate a powerful new capability at the AUVSI XPONENTIAL event on April 23–25, 2024, off San Diego.
The collaboration places ThayerMahan's Outpost system of acoustic sensors and digital signal processing aboard Ocius' Bluebottle Unmanned Surface Vessel. It leverages ThayerMahan's expertise in deploying sophisticated low power acoustic sensors and advanced, AI-enabled acoustic processing with Ocius' expertise in providing rugged, long-dwelling autonomous vehicles that harvest wind, solar, and wave energy to drive a hull derived from Australia's world-class sailboat racing designs.
ThayerMahan CEO Mike Connor stated, "The speed, maneuverability, and seakeeping characteristics of the Bluebottle USV will allow us to maximize the performance of our sensors."
Ocius CEO Robert Dane added, "Ocius USV expertise and ThayerMahan sensing expertise are a winning combination. We look forward to working together off San Diego at the AUVSI XPONENTIAL event April 23-25."
