Baird Maritime once again closely examines the world of unmanned vessels. This week, we review craft designed for a variety of applications in both civil and security use with roles ranging from seabed surveys to marine research and inland cargo transport in Europe and the United States.
We will also discuss two ongoing projects involving these vessels and their advanced technology. One project falls under a marine scientific program focused on ocean exploration off the California coast while another encompasses a series of demonstration sailings to determine the feasibility of autonomous coastal cargo ships.
Visit Baird Maritime regularly as we cover the latest developments related to these unique vessels.
– "The test cruise has been named one of the most complex autonomous journeys at sea so far."
– "The nimble robot can be deployed from beaches, piers, and small boats to run complex missions on its own for weeks to months."
– "It's challenging to group them, given the vast array of military capabilities available."
– by Jennifer Parker, senior analyst in the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's defence and strategy program and a former naval officer
– "Its purpose is to deliver sediment to coastlines to protect the land in a sustainable manner."
