Maritime Robotics: Enhancing maritime security through partnership collaboration

 
Maritime Robotics recently completed a trial focused on improving maritime security through the integration of advanced technologies and strategic collaboration. This trial proved how combining satellite imaging, aerial support, and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) can provide an effective surveillance and monitoring system.
 

The trial started with satellite imaging, which allowed for the detection of unidentified objects heading towards a restricted maritime area. This early warning system prompted the use of aerial support to investigate further. By combining data from satellites with visuals from aircraft, potential risks can be identified before posing any significant danger.

Upon detection of any suspicious activity, the Maritime Robotics' uncrewed surface vessel is deployed to conduct a more comprehensive examination of the area. Using advanced sonar technology, the USV carefully maps out the underwater area of the restricted zone in search of potential hidden hazards. This detailed mapping not only ensures safety but also revealed the precise location and depth of the unidentified object.

The USV also launches a specially designed underwater drone for closer inspection. This drone provides live video footage, giving operators a clear vision of the unidentified object on the seabed. Thanks to the accurate geolocation abilities of these technologies, informed decisions can be made quickly in response to potential threats.
