Traditional data collection methods, such as drifting buoys, short-range ASVs or manned ships, are falling short in the face of modern demands for accurate metocean and acoustic data. Drifting buoys, while useful, are limited by their inability to remain in target locations and require an expensive deployment mission. Manned ships, on the other hand, are expensive and not always feasible for continuous data collection.

​

Our autonomous micro-vessels solve these problems by behaving like drifting buoys with a purpose. They harness wind and solar power to navigate and maintain position in desired areas, ensuring a steady stream of reliable data. With our technology, you get the efficiency of drifting buoys and the precision of manned ships, but without the drawbacks.
