Uncrewed Vehicles Drive Ocean Exploration Efforts

Welcome to the 10th edition of ON&T’s Uncrewed Vehicle Buyers’ Guide (UVBG). 2024 has undoubtedly been a busy year for professionals working in the marine uncrewed vehicle space. So far, from January through June, we have seen an unprecedented uptick in news specific to such technologies; in fact, the number of press announcements directly related to uncrewed vehicles in Q1/Q2 2024 was up 54% when compared to Q3/Q4 2023.

While the nature of these stories varies, they share a common goal: to champion ongoing investment in the trial, adoption, and integration of intelligent systems designed to enable the remote operation of marine assets on and below the waterline.

The real-world utility of uncrewed vehicles is no longer conceptual. The evidence is not only compelling, but irrefutable. Operators now, more than ever before, have access to field-proven commercial systems capable of delivering a sustainable—and scalable—operational winwin: a cost-effective, carbon-conscious means of executing in-field tasks with less topside vessel and personnel support.
