Overview
Uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) are increasingly proving their worth in challenging environments. SeaTrac partnered with the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to test our SP-48 USV in mapping hypoxic zones (dead zones) in the U.S. northern Gulf of Mexico.
This 14-day mission aimed to demonstrate the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of USVs for gathering critical oceanographic data that can benefit both ecosystems and communities depending on it.
To learn how the SP-48 USV tackled technical challenges and environmental obstacles, paving the way for a more sustainable future of oceanographic data collection, download the full case study.
