Development of a solar powered Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) with modular sensor platform and obstacle avoidance system for optimized ease-of-use
FY 2020-21 · 2020-05-25
Summary
This project will develop a solar powered uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) that is optimized for ease-of-use through the creation of an obstacle avoidance system and modular oceanographic sensor platform. Obstacle avoidance enables the USV to conduct missions with increased safety and with minimal intervention, making it possible to conduct endurance operations of multiple months and navigate in crowded waterways, which significantly grows our market for USV sales and mission-as-a-service offerings. An easy-to-use platform for diverse sensor integration of hardware and software components enables the USV to collect and transmit data from a broad range of sensors significantly expanding the utility of the USV and its customer base.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à concevoir un véhicule de surface sans équipage alimenté par l'énergie solaire, dont la facilité d'utilisation est optimisée par la création d'un système d'évitement des obstacles et d'une plate-forme modulaire de capteurs océanographiques. L'évitement des obstacles permet au véhicule de surface sans équipage de mener des missions avec une sécurité accrue et une intervention minimale, ce qui permet de mener des opérations d'endurance de plusieurs mois et de naviguer dans des voies navigables encombrées, ce qui augmente considérablement notre marché pour les ventes de ces véhicules et les offres de missions en tant que service. Une plate-forme facile à utiliser pour l'intégration de divers capteurs et composantes matérielles et logicielles permet à ce véhicule de recueillir et de transmettre des données provenant d'un large éventail de capteurs, ce qui accroît considérablement l'utilité du véhicule et sa clientèle.
