The next wave of unmanned surface vehicles

SeaTrac Boat

A flexible platform for defense, environmental and offshore energy applications

SeaTrac designs and develops unmanned surface vehicles for persistent in-shore and open-ocean missions. Energy is derived from solar panels; propulsion comes from a highly efficient electric motor. Power from the vessel’s substantial battery storage allows for consistent cruise speeds over days with varying weather conditions.

Real-Time HAB Monitoring in the Gulf of Maine

The traditional HAB monitoring is labor intensive and only provides data accurate for the specific areas sampled. It also identifies the problem after it’s happened: it’s not well suited to anticipate an impending problem. Learn More

On-Demand, Continuous Eelgrass Monitoring

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a valuable coastal habitat in Massachusetts, forming a complex underwater landscape that stabilizes seafloor and adjacent shoreline, filters the water of sediments and nutrients, and provides important habitat for shallow water species. Learn More

Data Harvesting with Acoustic Modem

Researchers gain valuable information from battery-powered sensors deployed on the ocean floor, sometimes for months at a time. Retrieving data from these sensors typically involves sending out a ship: from a location directly above the sensor, an acoustic modem uploads or “harvests” the data from a sensor, before proceeding to the next sensor.
