SHAPE UP
A simple and compact multi-mission platform
Surface drone: RSV
The RSV is an autonomous USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) with a semi-rigid architecture designed to support multiple configurations and a wide range of oceanographic equipment.
Observe, inspect, intervene
The RSV is a robust and field-proven USV platform, with over 20,000 operational hours accumulated across global deployments. From shallow waters to offshore environments, it is designed for inspection, measurement, and multi-sensor data acquisition, supported by a high payload capacity.
The RSV is a self-contained, highly versatile platform, fully configurable and equipped with silent electric propulsion, offering several days of endurance. It delivers an optimized performance-to-cost ratio while ensuring maximum reliability through marine-grade components engineered for harsh environments.
Pioneering in its field, the system was the first to integrate ROV capabilities for the oil & gas sector, a decade ago.
Possible missions:
-
High-resolution 2D/3D bathymetry
-
3D scanning and digital twins, aerial and underwater
-
ROV Deployment
-
Deployment of a tethered aerial drone ( RSV Scandrone )
-
Remote monitoring and port protection
-
