LEMUSV - Long Endurance Marine Unmanned Surface Vehicle
|
The C-Enduro is a Long Endurance Maritime Unmanned Surface Vehicle, ideal for any application where long-term remote data collection is required up to mission lengths of 3 months. The vehicle’s power system can be tailored to suit different climatic conditions by using diesel or methanol power and/or harvesting energy using wind turbines and solar panels.

PATENT PENDING - The Bluefish SNAV platform, presently under development in 1/20th scale, is a robotic ocean workhorse. Based on a stable SWASH hull that can achieve high speeds for long duration. This robot ship uses no diesel fuel to monitor the oceans autonomously (COLREGS compliant) at 8-10 knots continuously 24/7 and 365 days a year - only possible with the revolutionary (patent) energy harvesting system. The vessel may also sprint from one location to another covering distances in excess of 100 nautical mile at speeds of over 10 knots, with a maximum speed of 18 knots - Thus may reach a target area with a relatively short response time. The hullform is ideal for automatic release and recovery of ROVs or towed arrays, alternating between drone and fully autonomous modes. International development partners and agents are welcome. This vessel pays for itself in fuel saved every ten years.
