Advanced Research’s 16’ WAM-V USVs to track the location and activity of the Z-Boat, holding station in the air to indicate targets of interest. A second WAM-V then traveled to the area to deploy a SeaBotix remotely operated vehicle (ROV) outfitted with an array of Teledyne technologies (Bowtech camera and lights, BlueView sonar, SeaBotix grabber and RDI Pathfinder DVL) to inspect the suspicious object on the seafloor or on the pier.   Also among the companies with vehicles in action was Arizona based Hydronalix, Inc., who demonstrated its remote controlled rescue buoy EMILY.
