Ocean Aero to Continuously Monitor the Port of Gulfport Autonomously
On May 1, the Port of Gulfport will implement continuous autonomous subsea surveillance. Using Ocean Aero’s technology, the Triton AUSV, they will begin running ongoing scans using a variety of subsea payloads, including bathymetry, side-scan sonar, and magnetometers to produce high-resolution comparative datasets for real-time change detection. The initiative is designed to detect irregularities in both port traffic and infrastructure, a feature that Port CEO and Executive Director, Jon Nass, says has the potential to save the port millions.Triton’s monitoring will also play a

Makai & Triton Software Launch Advanced Ocean Vector Chart Service
Makai Ocean Engineering will collaborate with Triton Software Ltd to integrate the innovative Ocean Vector Chart Service (OVCS) and provide access to high-resolution nautical charts directly in MakaiPlan, a submarine cable route planning software. This partnership introduces a powerful new feature to MakaiPlan by incorporating Triton Software’s API and hosted server for Lloyd’s Register’s worldwide vector dataset. Compared to traditional Admiralty raster charts, the OVCS feature empowers users to access and display the web-hosted electronic navigational charts with enhanced

Forcys to Equip Ocean Aero's Triton AUSVs
U.K. based Forcys announced it has been selected by Ocean Aero as a payload provider for its autonomous underwater and surface vehicle (AUSV), the Triton.Completely solar and wind powered, Triton can travel 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

Why There May Be Oceans Inside Dwarf Planets Beyond Pluto
microbial life.Other oceansPuzzlingly, even for moons that should have no tidal heating, and for bodies that aren’t moons at all, evidence for internal oceans keeps mounting up. The list of worlds that may have, or may once have had, internal oceans includes several moons of Uranus, such as Ariel, Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, and Pluto.One of the best images we have or Ariel.
