Measuring suspended particulate matter in the water column is still a big challenge when it comes to covering large areas in the sea or rivers. A novel method to monitor particles...

HydroSurv, a UK-based company in the uncrewed surface vessel (USV) sector, recently announced a partnership with Danish engineering company EIVA to supply autopilots for a lease fleet of USVs. The...

In the summers of 2021 and 2022, an iXblue DriX USV was deployed to try and locate the missing wreck of the sunken French fishing trawler Ravenel. The vessel disappeared...

Electrification and the transition to a green economy are rapidly accelerating the demand for metals and rare earth minerals. As this demand cannot be met by recycling existing metals, a...

Since the 1970s, remote sensing has increasingly been used to conduct underwater surveys. Several methodologies are employed in hydrographic surveying, from direct techniques such as probing rods to more sophisticated...

Aside from being able to monitor water depths, the most recent multibeam echosounder sonar (MBES) systems can also simultaneously record the reflected intensities from different seafloor surfaces. With this capability,...

To understand coastal change and anticipate what our future coast will look like, scientists carry out regular field surveys in the form of beach profiles and digital elevation models (DEMs)....

Maritime Robotics recently launched a new multipurpose unmanned surface vehicle (USV) platform, the Mariner X, with a configurable design and built for high-quality data acquisition at sea. The platform wields...

SEA-KIT International, a leading provider of low-carbon uncrewed surface vessel (USV) solutions in active operations across the globe, has revealed a new USV design that focuses on hydrography and environmental...

Uncrewed vehicles, both surface and airborne, are increasingly being used for hydrographic surveying. While the technology of data acquisition using these platforms is generally known, the fusion of this data...
