About AquaAirX
AquaAirX develops AI-enabled amphibious and underwater systems for maritime security, offshore energy, shipping and environmental monitoring. AVATAAR transitions between aerial and submerged operation, allowing one platform to approach an asset by air and then collect underwater imagery or sensor data.
Mission configurations support hull and propeller inspection, port surveillance, mooring and anchor checks, seabed observation and research. Autonomy, communications and analytics convert collected data into operational information for asset owners and security teams. AquaAirX develops vehicles and mission software and works with customers on payload integration, field deployment and data services.
