Residency at Sea: Decoupling Marine Data Collection from Manned Vessels with TII ARRC’s integrated solutions
By decoupling marine operations from manned surface vessels, we are establishing a new standard for cost-effective, persistent underwater data acquisition. Persistent operations at sea are usually treated as an endurance problem.
To achieve truly persistent maritime operations, the Autonomous Robotics Research Center (ARRC) at TII is finalizing an integrated deployment architecture consisting of an Extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV), a long-endurance Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and a specialized Launch and Recovery System (LARS).
