Swarms
Surface vessels and underwater vehicles working as one: task allocation, cooperative navigation and positioning, and acoustic, optical and radio links between the platforms.
Wenhai Technology · Shenzhen
We develop, integrate and customize uncrewed surface vessels, underwater vehicles (AUV and ROV) and the swarm systems that tie them together, from a single platform and its payload to multi-vehicle missions.
01 — Capabilities
Above and below the surface: platforms, payloads and multi-vehicle cooperation.
Surface vessels and underwater vehicles working as one: task allocation, cooperative navigation and positioning, and acoustic, optical and radio links between the platforms.
Platform design, propulsion and navigation for remote-controlled and autonomous operation. They carry sensors or relay communication for vehicles below.
Hull, propulsion, navigation and control, developed and integrated for the depth, range and payload each mission needs.
Tethered vehicles with cameras, lights, sonar and manipulators for underwater inspection and close-range work.
Selection, integration and testing of sonar, cameras, hydrophones, water-quality sensors and communication modules.
Acoustic, optical and radio links, with surface gateways as relays, that join seabed nodes, underwater vehicles, surface vessels and shore into one network.
We modify an existing platform for a new job or build one from scratch, from a single prototype to a small series.
02 — Applications
Several platforms at once cover more water in less time.
Several vehicles sample water quality and environmental data at the same time over a wider area.
Autonomous or remote-controlled inspection along subsea pipelines, platform legs and piers.
Vehicles survey the seabed in formation and shorten search times.
Routine patrols and data collection in harbours and shipping channels.
Water-quality monitoring and underwater inspection of net pens and farming areas.
Open platforms that universities and institutes can build on.
03 — Process
Every project moves through five stages.
We agree on the mission, operating depth, range, payload and how the vehicles cooperate.
We choose or design the platforms, configure the payload and plan the communication.
We build the platforms, integrate the payload and bring up hardware and software.
We test in a tank first, then at sea, to verify performance and reliability.
We deliver the platforms with documentation, training, deployment and after-sales support.
