Ocean Specialists launches new USV service

Florida-based marine projects company Ocean Specialists (OSI) has launched a new service line wherein unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) will be made available to support activities of customers in the offshore market and other industries.

OSI said the new business line will provide ocean and offshore operators with direct access to an exclusive portfolio of easy-to-transport multi-mission USVs, ranging from 1.8 metres to 11 metres in length. The comprehensive suite of USV services, from simple charter to more complete turnkey packages, are offered with technical support for payload integration, in-field deployment assistance, and operational training.

The USVs share the same proprietary operating system and user interface, which means multiple units of varying size, capability, and endurance can be configured and deployed at the same time.

OSI’s unique operating system allows for both cooperative and collaborative operations when multiple USVs are deployed. This system standardisation allows users to execute a wide variety of tasks quickly and cost effectively using the same software, controls, and operator training.
