Unmanned Survey Solutions (USS) USS designs and builds Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV’s) for purchase or rent. At the heart of USS is a desire to make surveying easier, safer and cost effective compared to manned vessel solutions. Our designs are created from in-depth knowledge and experience of using sonars and other sensors for survey operations. We then incorporate ease of installation, calibration and operation of the payload equipment. Finally, the safety of operation and robustness when working in the marine environment, all form key aspects in how we create reliable products and solutions which we are proud to offer to the international market.
The Accession USV:
- Is a unique modular design which offers three variable boat lengths depending on the desired configuration and additional hull sections
- Incorporates a reverse bow design and stabilisation fins for operating in challenging offshore environments
- Can operate in both coastal and offshore environments and is ideal for ‘force multiplier’ applications with a mothership
- Standard Remote Control (RC) capability for close proximity works and a semi-autonomous waypoint routing module for enhanced efficiency
- Direct vessel control via Hypack and QINSy for easier work flow solutions by allowing the data acquisition software to drive manual or autonomous lines
- Uses long-range Wi-Fi or 4G networks for running the survey operation through a remote terminal access to the onboard PC
- Is payload agnostic so can carry a wide variety of sensors bespoke to customer requirements including underway profiling and sensor towing
- Offers Unmanned Airborne Vehicle (UAV) drone and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) deployment and recovery
