The ENDURUNS USV leaves our facilities in Faaborg

This week another USV left our facilities in Faaborg, Denmark. Unmanned Surface Vessel constitues a good part of our production however many of such is build under NDA´s with our clients.
 
Here´s one we can show, the new ENDURUNS USV, developed and build in the ENDURUNS project and now shipped to ENDURUNS partner ALTUS LSA for their further work, preparing the vessel for the exciting missions of the ENDURUNS project where it, with its integrated hybrid AUV system from Graal Tech Srl will be capable of operating under deep ocean conditions and performing a wide range of missions, targeting the increase of scientific knowledge as well as industrial capability and performance. The powerbank of the USV will comprise a set of LFP batteries recharged by solar panels and a hydrogen PEM fuel cell.
 

The ProZero 8m USV is equipped with a range of advanced features that ensure seamless integration with the ENDURUNS AUV system. It serves as a vital companion, facilitating geotagging, communication, and command transmission between the AUV and the Remote Mission Control Center (RMCC). This dynamic collaboration allows for real-time updates and mission adjustments, ensuring optimal performance and flexibility in any environment.

One of the standout features of the ProZero 8m USV is its ability to connect with the AUV when needed and return to port as a single unit. This streamlined operation not only enhances efficiency but also facilitates accurate geotagging of the areas mapped or inspected by the AUV, providing invaluable data for various applications.

To extend operational autonomy, the ProZero 8m ENDURUNS USV integrates a hybrid power bank comprising a hydrogen fuel cell, battery pack, and photovoltaic panels. This intelligent energy management system ensures sustained power supply even in remote deep ocean or heavy traffic environments, making the USV self-sufficient and adaptable to diverse operational requirements.
