MetOcean Telematics, a global leader in ocean tech, has built a business working in some of the most remote environments on the planet. When it comes to a future in which those environments are increasingly connected to the rest of the world, it’s only fitting that the company has brought forward innovations meant to bridge the gap.

With new, ambitious targets set for renewable energy output, the world is turning to its oceans to act as a reliable source, whether wind, waves, or tides. Meticulous planning, construction, and operation of safe infrastructure wholly rely on contextual understanding both on and below the seabed.

It’s a world first. With the concerted use of a DriX uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) and a FlipiX remotely operated towed vehicle (ROTV), Exail continues to push the boundaries of marine technology to provide customers with a unique uncrewed solution that will redefine how operators carry out bathymetric and geophysical surveys.

Ocean technology has important applications for ocean sectors, whether traditional or emerging, as we seek to move faster, with greater safety and sustainability, better understanding our ocean and how climate change is impacting it, and the ability to efficiently leverage the power of data in making the best decisions.

Coastal regions are diverse ecosystems that support a myriad of economic and societal services. Various industry stakeholders, such as port authorities, shipping firms, tourism operators, and fisheries, to name but a few, rely on coastal habitats and their resources.

During the first two decades of the 21st century, due to the exigencies of land wars in the Middle East and elsewhere, there was a rapid acceleration in the development and deployment of unmanned aerial systems and unmanned ground systems.
