Introducing the Mariner: A Versatile Mid-Sized Unmanned Surface Vehicle

The Mariner stands out as a robust mid-sized unmanned surface vehicle (USV) tailored for both coastal and offshore missions. With an remarkable payload capacity, it is indeed adept at transporting sensors for various applications, whether above or below the water’s surface. This vessel is especially suited for diverse operations such as surveillance,pipeline inspections,and supporting autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

Design and Functionality

Constructed with a resilient polyethylene hull, the Mariner features a sophisticated propulsion system that combines water jet technology with bow thrusters, ensuring exceptional maneuverability. It is designed for both autonomous navigation and remote control,allowing for flexible deployment options. The vessel can be launched and retrieved from land or from a ship using an optional custom Launch and Recovery system (LARS) cradle.

Advanced Data Collection Capabilities

for optimal data acquisition, the Mariner can be outfitted with a retractable moonpool elevator or a fixed gondola. This versatility enables it to carry a variety of sensors and equipment,including radar systems,high-resolution cameras,single and multibeam echosounders,and side scan sonars,among others.
