Sea Machines Robotics Inc. is launching six new products to better serve customers who demand highly adaptable maritime autonomy.
The expansion aims to meet the high demand from defense organizations for asymmetric fleet capabilities for commercial purposes, according to the company.
This includes an upgrade and expansion of the SM300 hardware lines, two high-level software APIs, a real-time cloud-based fleet data platform, and a new high-performance 8-meter unmanned surface vessel (USV), the STORMRUNNER.
The SM300-SP is a special-purpose hardware version of Sea Machines autonomy systems, designed for emerging fleets of portable sUSVs and for those not requiring Class-approved hardware.
The SM300-NG is a next-generation autonomy system that provides 200% more computing power in a smaller form factor, according to the company, and is available in digital-only and digital-plus-analog I/O variants.
The SMLink Flow/Control APIs are two new application programming interfaces now available to allow authorized third parties to stream data from SM300 platforms as well as control the autonomy system.
Meanwhile, FLEETVIEWER is an online fleet visualization platform that allows users to easily view, capture, and use vessel data in real time, including streaming images.
Finally, the STORMRUNNER USV is an all-new unmanned surface vessel made of HDPE, 8 meters long, designed to deliver high performance and reliability on the water for defense customers.
The STORMRUNNER has a top speed of 40 knots and offers over 500 nautical miles of range, carrying 1,100 pounds of payload. Equipped with the SM300-SP and fully integrated with sensors and communications, the STORMRUNNER is Sea Machines’ second USV project, following the 7-meter SELKIE.
” Sea Machines was built around the needs of the commercial market, which simply means products must offer immense value and reliability,” said founder and CTO Michael Johnson.
“Our mission is to provide high-end maritime and naval technologies to those who protect, defend, and work on the water. Our team has worked tirelessly to fulfill this commitment with these new products,” added CEO Chip Wasson.
