Autonomy for Hydrographic & Scientific Surveying
AI-Powered Autonomy for Next-Generation Ocean Exploration
The demand for accurate and efficient hydrographic and scientific surveying is greater than ever. Whether mapping the seabed, monitoring environmental conditions, or conducting long-term research, autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) powered by Marine AI’s GuardianAI provide a scalable, cost-effective, and intelligent solution for extended missions in remote and challenging waters.
Enhancing Surveying & Ocean Research with GuardianAI
✅ Autonomous Mission Execution
Fully autonomous ASVs can navigate pre-programmed routes or adapt their course in real time, ensuring efficient and safe data collection even in dynamic environments.
✅ Advanced Sensor Integration
Equipped with GPS, radar, LiDAR, sonar, cameras, and environmental sensors, GuardianAI enables precise mapping, environmental monitoring, and scientific data acquisition.
✅ Long-Endurance Surveying
Autonomous vessels can operate for months without human intervention, relaying real-time data via satellite uplink or wireless broadband—minimising operational costs while maximising survey range.
✅ Multi-Vehicle Coordination & Swarm Technology
GuardianAI supports swarm deployments, enabling collaborative data gathering across multiple ASVs, enhancing coverage and resolution for hydrographic, oceanographic, and climate research.
✅ Smart Obstacle Avoidance & Station-Keeping
Using AI-driven situational awareness, ASVs autonomously detect and avoid obstacles while maintaining precise station-keeping capabilities for fixed-position monitoring and data collection.
