Problem
Marine infrastructure inspection, seabed resource extraction, and underwater hazard mitigation often require manned vessels, exposing personnel to safety risks and high operational costs, while traditional equipment relies on fossil-fuel power and limited endurance.
Solution
Radical Builders offers autonomous unmanned surface vessels (USVs) that integrate aerial drones (UAVs), underwater drones (UUVs/ROVs) and low‑energy hydrogen powertrains. The platforms conduct structural inspections of pipelines, cables and piers, perform high‑resolution hydrographic surveys, and detect hazardous mines or ammunition without crew onboard. For extraction tasks, the same vessels can execute sustainable dredging, surface harvesting of seaweed or plastic, and mine removal using modular cranes, suction systems and renewable energy sources. All operations are coordinated through a unified control system that enables remote mission planning, real‑time sensor fusion and autonomous navigation, reducing human exposure and fuel consumption.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial marine operators (e.g., offshore infrastructure owners, dredging contractors, aquaculture firms) and defense or security agencies requiring autonomous inspection, surveying and hazardous material clearance.
Features
- Integrated UAV, UUV and ROV payloads for simultaneous aerial and subsea data collection
- Hydrogen‑fuel‑cell powertrain with solar/wind augmentation for zero‑emission, long‑duration missions
- Modular dredging and harvesting equipment (cranes, suction, WID) adaptable to various seabed materials
- Automated hazard detection algorithms for mines, ammunition and other underwater threats
- Remote mission planning interface with real‑time telemetry and sensor fusion for inspection, surveying and extraction
- Scalable autonomy levels, from fully remote control to self‑navigating operations across harbor to open‑sea environments
