MEWO Nearshore batymetria
Last Friday, we undertook a mission to map the seabed in the nearby Baltic Sea. Our journey involved navigating the frigid waters using our prototype unmanned surface vehicle (USV), the Techno Hunter X1.
Equipped with a NORBIT Subsea Winghead i77h echosounder, our USV set off on a complex mapping of the bathymetry of the coastal region, withstanding perceptible temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius. It is worth noting that our vessel operated continuously for nine hours, covering a distance of more than 35km.
Despite the fact that the USV was completely covered in ice (see photos), we successfully delivered high quality data to the client, meeting the project requirements even in difficult conditions.
This highlights the significant impact of the USV on research and exploration tasks. Particularly in harsh and unpredictable conditions, it is crucial to prioritise safety by keeping people on land while the USV conducts surveys.
What’s more, this is a special moment for Officina Baltica as a team, demonstrating our ability to deliver a vehicle large enough for the open sea, yet compact enough to explore shallow areas as deep as 0.5m. The fact that the boat operated effectively in icy conditions is a testament to our specially designed 200 Ah power bank and the resilience of all onboard electronics.
We would like to thank MEWO S.A. for its trust, and we invite anyone in need of R&D and USV to contact us.
