Autonomous deep water survey vessel
It was announced from Portsmouth on 16 July that ASV Global (ASV), in partnership with Sonardyne International Ltd., the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and SeeByte, have successfully delivered a long-endurance, multi-vehicle, autonomous survey solution.
A recent two-week trial in Scotland’s Loch Ness was the culmination of the three-year Autonomous Surface and Sub-surface Survey System collaborative project, part-funded by Innovate UK and Dstl.
The aim of the project was to deliver an integrated system to perform low cost, full water column marine surveys using multiple autonomous systems.
