REPMUS: a Scout swarm tracking AUVs for ASW

At NATO's maritime unmanned systems exercise, multiple Scouts carrying hydrophones worked as one swarm to detect and track autonomous underwater vehicles: distributed ASW sensing at a cost that permits fleets.

Offshore energy

40 days offshore, carrying Sofar Ocean metocean sensors

Six weeks of unbroken wave, wind and sea-state data from one solar-powered platform holding station offshore, at a fraction of the cost of a survey vessel or moored buoy for the same record.

Detecting whales and dolphins in real time with Hydrotwin AI

Scout Hydrotwin runs passive acoustic monitoring at sea: edge AI classifies whales, dolphins and porpoises as they vocalise, streaming detections to the cloud for months at a time.
