Core Technology Innovations - B. Full-Scale Unmanned Sea Trucks on the Chesapeake Bay
Full-Scale Unmanned Sea Trucks under Robotic/GPS Control (Over-the-Horizon) on the Chesapeake Bay
Detailed incremental land- and sea-based testing protocols as a part of the comprehensive testing and evaluation plan were developed and implemented to evaluate Sea Truck seakeeping characteristics at varying speeds, weights, center-of-gravity offsets (i.e., list) and sea states with remote as well as autonomous robotic control. We have successfully conducted 1,000+ test events of our full-scale Sea Trucks (both electric and diesel versions) in the actual operational water environments on the Chesapeake Bay, MD. Some were at elevated sea states (>3), while other tests included over-the-horizon inland remote command and control of Sea Trucks at sea.
Industrial Applications - A. Military
Cost-effective, autonomous, high-TEMPO and huge-throughput Sea Trucks, at elevated sea states (>3-4+) and 24/7,
for refueling/resupply on the go, C4ISR*, sentinel and/or decoy, anti-air, anti-submarine, mine-countermeasure,
anti-surface-ship, special op. warfare, etc. without placing warfighters in harm's way.
