About
About Triton AUSV
Triton AUSV is Ocean Aero's 14-foot autonomous underwater and surface vehicle. Wind and solar generation support long-duration travel and station keeping at the surface, while an underwater propulsion system lets the same craft submerge for sensing, inspection and maritime-security missions. Its power system combines 35 kWh of rechargeable batteries with up to 1,250 W of solar collection.
Mission software manages waypoint routes, payload activity and multiple vehicles. LEO satellite, Iridium, cellular, GPS and radio-mesh links support remote data return, while modular payloads cover defence, ocean research and offshore-energy work. Ocean Aero offers procurement and company-operated mission-service models, with standard packages and custom payload integration for specialised surveys or monitoring.
