UK Subsea Robotics Firm SMD Sets Sights on Exceeding £100m Turnover in Five Years
;s been over three years in the making and we are finally at the point where it can be hired for use on commercial projects. Its patented technology gives accurate, real-time measurement of where cables have been placed deep below the seabed to protect them, which has not been possible with existing technology.“It’s a very exciting time for SMD and we are determined to achieve our goals and continue to be pioneers in our field.&rdquo
From Seismic Surveys to Hunting Subs, Sea Serpent Passes the Test
sub-sea intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capability from fully autonomous platforms."We are incredibly pleased with this successful demonstration from our Sea Serpent ASW system. We believe this illustrates the versatility of our technologies and our ability to adapt our existing technology to new and unique applications," said Rob Capps, MIND's President and CEO. "The primary aim of this experiment was to demonstrate that the Sea Serpent is a viable ASW product that can be rapidly, easily, and reliably deployed from a small USV. We intend to take what we learned
