SeaTrac Systems, Inc.

Nice to be able to catch an ocean innovation talk at Stanford Research Institute’s PARC campus last night featuring a rockstar, all female cast of brilliant ocean tech champions: the tireless Monterey Bay Aquarium Founder/Exec Dir Julie Packard, Italian maverick Co-Dir of the Doerr School of Sustainability Fiorenza Micheli, ultra competent SRI Hardware Research & Tech Lab Dir Julie Bert, and KQED filmmaker Rosa Tuiran. Just another Tuesday night in Silicon Valley, in other words. #oceaninnovation #SRI #MBARI

Our SP-48 uncrewed surface vehicle is featured in the environment coastal & offshore (eco) magazine Marine Instruments Buyers' Guide, an essential tool for those involved in marine research, monitoring or environmental management. The feature details how our innovative USV is revolutionizing marine data collection and research, and touches on our ongoing collaboration with The University of Southern Mississippi and NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to test for hypoxic conditions.

🌊 Exciting news from #OCEANS2024! 🌊 SeaTrac’s Hobie Boeschenstein attended the OCEANS Conference in Halifax and was thrilled to have connected with Dr. Jason McKenna from The University of Southern Mississippi. During the conference, McKenna presented on the topic of our recently published joint case study detailing the use of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) to map potential hypoxic levels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. As detailed in the case study, late last year SeaTrac deployed one of its SP-48 USVs for a 14-day mission to collect data offshore. Following the success of that initial project phase, USM is now utilizing multiple SeaTrac USVs to collect additional data that will help the institution understand how hypoxia impacts marine life and ultimately how we can enable a more sustainable U.S. Gulf. This is a major milestone for our collaboration, and SeaTrac is proud to see our remote marine data collection abilities showcased on such a prominent stage. Check out the full case study for more details on how we're advancing marine research with industry leading USVs: https://bit.ly/3zlBSmn #uncrewedsystems #marineindustry

This piece captures in narrative form how drones can potentially transform the battlefield, in addition to frankly laying out battery managment & personnel training, among other challenges. The context is land and aerial drones, but the parallels to unmanned naval warfare will be recognizable. #uncrewedsystems #dronewarfare #MDA https://lnkd.in/gAEjj_dH

We're excited to announce that SeaTrac and Sonardyne International Ltd have partnered to successfully gather vital oceanographic data from the Gulf of Mexico's Loop Current System by pairing SeaTrac's uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) with Sonardyne's acoustic communication technologies. This mission, completed remotely, significantly reduced costs and environmental impact, marking a breakthrough in marine robotics. Over the next 18 months, more data will be collected to deepen understanding of the region’s ocean currents, impacting hurricane intensity, marine life, and offshore operations.

Looking forward to going back out there for more autonomous acoustic data harvesting in the Gulf of Mexico,Thanks to Aidan Thorn and the Sonardyne team for this cutting edge opportunity, pushing the envelope of blue technology for better ocean understanding. #loopcurrent #CPIES #USV https://lnkd.in/eT6Adg48

“Understanding the relationship between the ocean and weather is crucial as we prepare to adapt to changing climactic conditions.” — helpful hurricane WHOI video below and shot of a SeaTrac SP-48 in the thick of it. #hurricanehunting #USV #metocean https://lnkd.in/ez5zUqEu

Always satisfying to gather with fellow blue tech peeps like the ace group assembled at the recent Techbridge 401 BLUETide Demo day in Newport. SeaTrac co-founders Buddy Duncan and Jigger Herman enjoyed seeing their uncrewed platform zipping amidst the sailboats they used to crew and engineer to go faster back in the day. Also pictured below are Raytheon’s Chris Oliver and William Rippy of USM and BlueiQ that day. #techbridge #towedarray #blueeconomy

Vibrant atmosphere both on the water and off at 401 Tech Bridge BLUETide 2024’s demo day at Sail Newport. Lots of interacting, new kit and productive show & tell. Pictured below are SBIR Dick McNamara, military liaison Don Jagoe, Orcelle’s Maury Nunes and Enginuity’s Ben Garvey and his co’s clever lift point. Hobie also shared our passive ascoustic monitoring mission results with Blue IQs nimble new tech. #BLUETide #401TechBridge #uncrewed #NUWC

SeaTrac's SP-48 will be featured in a special mission scenario, in-water demonstration at BlueTIDE 2024 and you're invited! This one-day event takes place at Sail Newport and Narragansett Bay Test Facility in Newport, RI. During the unique demo, our versatile USV will be outfitted with a FLIR camera and a BLUEiQ hydrophone array to monitor the local marine environment. The camera will display video footage while the hydrophone captures underwater audio. This autonomous data collection is a "win-win" for both commercial and research clients who need critical at-sea information and want to maximize their resources. The demo will also spotlight three other innovations in action, while the event as a whole engages attendees with compelling maritime tech and interactive exhibits. If you plan to attend, check out the schedule for demo times: https://lnkd.in/eJyKEmEn We look forward to seeing you there. #uncrewedsystems #marineindustry
