New Hydrographic Survey Solutions Passes UK MoD Test
way for new possibilities in defense and other maritime markets," said Christian Thomsen, CEO of EIVA.The components of this survey solution include SH Group’s 20-ft. Cube container module and launch and recovery system for EIVA’s ScanFish L ROTV, which is equipped with Sonardyne’s SPRINT-Nav Mini hybrid INS/DVL and Voyis’ Observer Pro optical camera and Insight Pro laser scanner. Two dedicated computer workstations are built into the container and equipped with EIVA's NaviSuite software for efficiently processing and analysing the collected data.EIVA is working with Forcys

at speeds of up to 5 knots and can submerge for up to 5 days at 2 knots. It can be used as a force multiplier for defense operations, offering easy logistics, launch and recovery while evading detection using autonomous avoidance and deep diving capabilities.Forcys will be supplying Ocean Aero with SPRINT-Nav Mini, said to be the world’s smallest hybrid acoustic-inertial navigation technology from its technology partner Sonardyne and Solstice, the leading multi-aperture sonar (MAS) for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems, from its technology partner Wavefront Systems.Bob Marthouse, COO
north.io Selected for Portuguese Hydrographic Institute Project
and effective maritime defense.The program will be carried out in collaboration with the Portugal Blue Digital Hub. This Hub aims to foster the development of cutting-edge technologies that can revolutionize the processing and utilization of hydrographic data.The next phase will be a so-called Co-Design Sprint from October 14 to 18. This is an intensive “bootcamp” that will connect the north.io participants and 14 other companies directly with other industry professionals, providing exclusive insights and opportunities to advance the project. The program concludes with a showcase day in 2024
Metal Shark Debuts Prowler Autonomous Vessel and Frenzy Micro-USV
mover with no trailer, greatly simplifying logistics for operators.Propelled by a 300-horsepower Volvo Penta D6 Aquamatic inboard diesel engine and stern drive, the 30-foot, welded-aluminum Prowler operates as a typical surface vessel while underway, with a deep-vee planing hull delivering a 35-knot sprint speed and 500 nautical mile range.Designed for extended loitering in a semi-submerged state, Prowler’s large integrated ballast tanks flood when the vessel is static. In loitering mode, Prowler’s decks are near the waterline, with only the vessel’s arch-style communications mast
Teledyne Webb Research Unveils Slocum Sentinel Glider
;s largest buoyancy engine, with a volumetric capacity of four liters – more than double that of any other glider buoyancy engine. This affords the Sentinel a standard glide speed of 0.75 knots. It features dual thrusters on the aft of the vehicle, which users can choose to activate for a sprint speed of up to 3.5 knots."The Sentinel is the world’s fastest glider – its buoyancy engine is large enough to deal with drastic density changes in the water column, and its thrusters give it the ability to stay on track in strong currents or other difficult ocean conditions,"
