Engineering Overview

Wave-Piercing Design for Efficient Surveys

Live props reduce weed entanglement, and the SVP is encapsulated in the bow. The wave-piercing hull was designed to efficiently collect data and save time in the field. It can also be lowered via davit from a survey boat to be used as a force multiplier, working alongside the main vessel.
