Autonomous surface vessel for mini-ROV deployment

Integrated development of a surface platform designed to carry and support the deployment of small remotely operated vehicles.

Rendering of the autonomous vessel for mini-ROV deployment
01

Challenge

Inspection and data-acquisition missions require the integration of a naval platform, propulsion, energy, communications, control and payload.

02

Objective

Develop an autonomous surface vessel with an architecture prepared to support mini-ROV operations.

03

Approach

The work combines hull, propulsion and steering design, electrical and electronic systems, telemetry, communications, automation and mission integration.

04

Intended outcome

Advance a complete and verifiable architecture, reducing integration risks before future operational demonstrations.
