The increasing need to sustainably monitor and exploit the seabed has made it crucial for policymakers and operators to have higher resolution and more timely field-scale measurements of these complex and stressed environments. This rising demand needs to be met with advanced technology and monitoring techniques to ensure the long-term sustainability of m...

This project is to adapt and develop a COTS casting winch to operate to 100m deep from the wave propelled AutoNaut uncrewed surface vessel (USV). Because the USV does not stop, and operates in the most extreme environments, this presents a special innovation challenge to achieve 100m plus, with 100% reliability. The USV has proven ability to operate offsh...

The AutoNaut for Extreme Environments Extension project will verify and validate (V&V) technology solutions developed in our original RAI project, and demonstrate AutoNaut's new capability to external stakeholders operating at high latitudes. The aim of the original project was to make the wave propelled AutoNaut unmanned surface vessel (USV) capable of o...

"The aim of this project is to develop a wave propelled unmanned surface vessel (USV) capable of working autonomously, in winter, in the notoriously hazardous Antarctic and Arctic seas, such as the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties. It is a partnership project led by AutoNaut Ltd, with the Universities of East Anglia and Exeter. The collaborative projec...

"This project will develop an intelligent visual imaging system (including infra-red) that is integrated into an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The system will process data using computational algorithms and artificial intelligence to visually detect and track objects of interest at sea. A robust communication link will be developed to allow data transfe...

The AutoNaut wave-propelled unmanned surface vessel (USV) has a global market to address with a wide range of sensors making possible applications in oceanographic science research, Oil and Gas and Offshore Renewables, military and surveillance activities. This project will allow AutoNaut Ltd to scope, focus and develop its potential in fast growing globa...

MOST (AV) is an SME that has taken the concept of autonomous, self-propelled, surface vessels to production reality. AutoNaut provides unique, robust, cost effective, game-changing opportunities for a variety of markets interested in the remote collection and analysis of marine and maritime data. AutoNaut can undertake extended deployments – over three mo...
