Ocean data collection is complex

Remote data collection typically means big vessels, lots of people and rigid contracts

High costs

Traditional ocean vessels can cost £20,000+ per day

Months of planning

Extensive logistics and permitting delays

Data gaps

Weather dependent operations mean spotty data

Scouts are 2.4m autonomous ocean drones that provide real-time data from anywhere on earth

Satellite connectivity, 6+ month endurance and storm-proof design, they can be deployed by a single person in minutes.

Scout removes barriers to ocean access with autonomous technology

Low cost

Our robots operate at a fraction of vessel day rates. No weather related expenses

Launch in minutes

Start the mission from any boat ramp with a single person

Continuous data

Uninterrupted data for months. Solar powered and satellite connected

Ocean data made easy

Deploy Solar Scout in two simple steps:

  1. Add waypoints
  2. Launch from shore or boat

Solar Scout operates in any open water environment. Use the Tether platform to add waypoints and access the data collected.

Tether

Simple control interface for your ocean robots. Tether works on any desktop. No special hardware or software installation needed.

Program waypoints or station keep

Drop pins on the map to build your mission.

View live data

Access sensor data and telemetry in real-time from anywhere.

Manage swarms of robots

Control your entire fleet through one simple dashboard.

Supporting planet critical missions

Subsea to satellite connection

Harvest acoustic and subsea data at a fraction of traditional costs. Operate as surface relays to transmit continuous data from subsea to ground control.

Environmental monitoring

Track water quality, assess biodiversity, and measure oceanographic conditions in real-time. Deploy multiple units for comprehensive coverage.

Offshore wind development

Fast-track site characterisation with immediate deployment in areas without infrastructure. Reduce costs whilst accelerating time to consent.

Contour following

Map seafloor topography across vast areas at a fraction of survey vessel costs. Ideal for fishing zones, habitat mapping, and underwater terrain assessment.
