Maritime Security
- Extensive and smart zone monitoring already provides high level of detection capabilities but maritime protection still suffers from poor action time due to high costs of classic patrol vessels.
- Smart automation of Maritime police can also drastically facilitate procedures implementation as well as control efficiency.
Seabed Survey and Fishing
- Having a frequent and accurate understanding of Seabed is of crucial value for Maritime Authorities and industrial operators, either for maintenance issues, security reasons, scientific challenges or fishing
- In that context, UAVs, USVs as well as AUVs and ROVs drastically improve seabed and coastal surveys opportunities.
Short Sea Shipping and logistics
- Small to medium cargo transfer to isolated areas can be very costly with traditional supply vessel.
- USV and / or UAV can enable new maritime services to previously inaccessible areas and / or significantly extend the numbers of services to already connected zones.
Asset Management
- Maintaining offshore assets (surface or subsea) requires lots of vessels that sometimes operate in dangerous conditions and that also remain idle during other periods wasting the time of the crew who has to stay on board to maintain business continuity.
- Introducing maritime and / or aerial drones enables to significantly improve working conditions while at the same time drastically improve asset management
