Our Approach
AutoNaut’s innovative approach to autonomous marine exploration offers a sustainable and efficient solution for long-duration oceanic data collection, leveraging renewable energy and advanced technology to meet the evolving needs of marine research and industry.
Autonaut features
Wave Propulsion Technology
AutoNaut USVs utilise patented Wave Foil Technology, harnessing the ocean’s wave motion for propulsion. This innovative approach allows for long-term, fuel-free missions, significantly reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Long-Endurance Missions
Capable of operating independently for months, even in challenging marine environments.
Sustainable Operations
Powered entirely by renewable energy sources, including wave motion and solar panels, AutoNaut vessels can operate for extended periods without carbon emissions, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Versatile Vessel Designs
AutoNaut offers models such as the 3.5-metre and 5.0-metre USVs. The 3.5-metre model is designed for easy deployment and recovery, featuring a single lifting point and a low draft suitable for slipway operations. The 5.0-metre model provides greater payload capacity and modularity, allowing for flexible sensor and equipment integration.
Advanced Data Collection
Equipped with a range of sensors powered by solar energy, AutoNaut USVs are capable of collecting valuable oceanic data for various applications, including environmental monitoring, marine research, and offshore industry support.
Remote Operation and Safety
These USVs can be operated remotely via satellite communications, enabling real-time data transmission and control from shore-based facilities. Their uncrewed nature eliminates risks to personnel, especially in hazardous marine environments.
