Innovations in Subsea Robotics: Greensea Systems at the Combined Naval Event
Greensea Systems Inc. is set to unveil its latest advancements in artificial intelligence aimed at enhancing data collection and analysis within subsea robotics, specifically for defense purposes, at the prestigious Combined Naval Event. This exhibition will take place from May 23rd to 25th, 2023, in farnborough, UK.
Showcasing Autonomous ROV Capabilities
During the event, Greensea will highlight a broad array of capabilities related to untethered, autonomous Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The company is eager to share insights into its innovative technologies that facilitate advanced marine operations.
Introducing Bayonet Ocean Vehicles
Representatives will also present the new Bayonet series of amphibious Underwater Ground Vehicles (ugvs), including models 150, 250, and 350. These vehicles are designed for operations in surf zones and are built on Greensea’s OPENSEA platform, which provides a robust open architecture that enhances autonomy and simplifies the integration of various sensors and payloads for military applications.
recent Demonstrations and Collaborations
This military-centric event follows Greensea’s prosperous demonstration of its untethered autonomous ROV capabilities, which utilized the Safe C2 remote command and control system.This demonstration occurred off the coast of San Diego, California, in April 2023, showcasing the technology’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
Developed under a Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) contract awarded in late 2021, the Autonomous EOD Maritime Response Vehicles (AEMRV) project saw Greensea collaborate with Seebyte. Together, they created an ROV equipped with Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology, enabling the detection and classification of objects to support Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) missions.
Enhancing Underwater Defense Operations
The latest demonstration showcased the ROV’s ability to operate autonomously and untethered, significantly enhancing underwater defense and security operations.This includes identifying and neutralizing subsea threats,such as those posed by seabed warfare and counter-terrorism efforts.
Key Technologies for Underwater Security
Greensea’s recent advancements in underwater defense technology include:
- OPENSEA Edge: This open architecture system enhances autonomy in marine robotics. Installed on over 3,000 marine vehicles globally, it optimizes data processing by placing computational power closer to the source.
- Integration Flexibility: The system allows for seamless integration with third-party software and additional sensors, enhancing operational capabilities.
- Reliable Communication: Greensea’s Safe C2 system ensures effective over-the-horizon communication,enabling ROV operators to work from any location,whether on land or at sea.
- Tetherless Operations: The combination of navigation systems, acoustic modems, and onboard power facilitates untethered operations.
- Comprehensive ATR Libraries: These libraries enhance object detection, identification, and classification capabilities.
- EOD Workspace: This user-kind interface integrates vehicle control, navigation, and data management, providing operators with unprecedented situational awareness.
- EOD workspace Simulator: This training tool allows users to develop and maintain skills without the logistical challenges of removing a vehicle from active duty.
