Edge, will provide a robust solution for underwater EOD tasks. The integration of sonar-based target classification and operator assist autonomy enables more accurate threat detection and neutralization.The technologies productized under this program will bring upgrades to Greensea’s EOD Edge software package, the edge processing solution for EOD Workspace, and an integrated solution with navigation and processing through IQNS. A lighter weight deployment through IQNS Mini will also be available. IQNS with EOD Edge will be available in Q4 2024 on Greensea’s Bayonet product line
OET Testing New ROV Cameras for 3D Model Making
;1 centimeter) visual and acoustic data over the seafloor using a new widefield camera array system and Norbit wideband multibeam sonar. The widefield camera array was co-developed by the Ocean Exploration Trust and Sexton Corporation with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). A customized software package for the Norbit sonar was recently developed by Corps of Exploration Navigator Dr. Kristopher Krasnosky, which takes raw data collected by sonar and allows onboard teams to visualize it in real-time.High-resolution visual and acoustic data collected by the ROV-mounted sensors will be used to

platform, Aquanaut, this derivative robot features technology to support security activities and is advancing to complete longer and more challenging missions. In addition, this award allows further autonomous behavior and operational capability enhancements to toolKITT, Nauticus' proprietary software package developed to enable an ecosystem of autonomous actions for subsea vehicles and serves as the foundation for this work."I am very proud of our team's performance resulting in this follow on award, further cementing our partnership with Leidos," said Nicolaus Radford, founder and
Greensea Launches OPENSEA Edge
and video perception feeds while providing autonomy, communications, and task management for the robot. This platform puts a tremendous amount of processing power at the edge, right on the robot, where it can work directly with sensor data and make decisions for the vehicle. OPENSEA’s Safe C2 software package for low bandwidth and high latency communications links provides a seafloor to over-the-horizon communications solution for operators supervising the robot. With the open architecture framework of OPENSEA and available processing space, developers can install their own autonomy and perception-handlin
Greensea Announces Software Upgrades, VideoRay Partnership
Technician. Workspace and Professional Workspace have been upgraded to version 5.0.All standard software on VideoRay’s Mission Specialist Series ROVs was updated earlier this month.Founder and CEO of Greensea Systems Inc. Ben Kinnaman commented, “OPENSEA with Workspace is the standard software package on VideoRay’s Defender and Pro5 vehicles. OPENSEA provides the capability to perform advanced autonomous missions and prepares these vehicles for future technology advances as an open architecture platform. The newest versions of Workspace are the result of a direct collaboration with
FarSounder, Navtor Partner
FarSounder and Navtor announces a new partnership, with FarSounder now including support for NAVTOR official ENC chart data in itsbase software package.Navtor is centered on creating e-Navigation tools that are safe, simple and efficient. Similarly, FarSounder’s Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar is designed to provide safe navigation by detecting many ocean obstacles via an easy-to-understand user interface. According to the pair, this partnership will bring an impactful software update for Argos technology."By implementing the NavtorECDIS Kernel in the FarSounder platform, we bring official

methods.The bathymetric system consisted of a standard commercial DJI drone (UgCS SkyHub onboard computer and terrain following system with radar altimeter) and Echologger ECT400 single-beam echo sounder provided by SPH Engineering, Latvia. For data processing, the Eye4Software Hydromagic software package was employed.“I was surprised by the maneuverability of the system and how easy it is to conduct bathymetric surveys using a UAV equipped with an echo sounder. Some of our survey areas were 400-500m away from take-off/landing positions and that means that the term “remote sensing&rdquo
