Problem
Traditional methods of ocean data collection are labor-intensive, costly, and often lack the consistency needed for accurate environmental monitoring and maritime operations. The increasing demand for ocean data from industries like defense, science, and commercial surveying requires more efficient and scalable solutions.
Solution
Seasats provides autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) designed for versatile ocean data collection. The Lightfish ASV features a solar-powered electric drive system, a quick-swap payload bay, and two-person portability, enabling multi-month endurance for a variety of maritime tasks. These ASVs automate processes such as monitoring harmful algal blooms, mapping undersea ecosystems, and supporting maritime surveillance. By automating these tasks, Seasats reduces operational costs and improves data consistency, offering a safe and cost-effective way to gather ocean data at scale.
Target Audience
Seasats serves the defense sector for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), the scientific community for environmental monitoring and marine research, and commercial entities involved in surveying, offshore wind, aquaculture, and shipping.
