Hydrography & Marine Survey

Survey-grade autonomous capability for charting, bathymetry and ocean science - from harbour basins to the open ocean.

Survey without the survey ship

A survey campaign traditionally ties up a crewed vessel, its ship's company and a weather window. Sentiq configures uncrewed surface platforms that hold a survey line for days at a time, carrying survey-grade multibeam echosounders integrated with inertial navigation and sound velocity sensing. The SQ30 works from coastal waters into the open ocean, while the SQ13 and SQ18 reach harbours, channels and shallow water a survey vessel cannot. Oceanus ROVs add imaging and photogrammetry for ground-truthing.

One platform, many disciplines

The same platform that charts a port approach can run a route survey for a submarine cable, a pre-installation survey for an offshore wind field, a post-dredging check for a port authority or a water column campaign for a research institute. Sentiq changes the mission by changing the payload — multibeam, side scan, sub-bottom, magnetometer, CTD — and delivers data in the formats your office already works with.
The Mission Chain

Sense✕Decide✕Act

Every maritime mission depends on the ability to sense the threat, decide with confidence and act at the right moment. Sentiq brings together sensors, platforms, communications, autonomy and command-and-control to create integrated capabilities across the complete mission loop.

Mission Outcomes

Cut the costs

Replace crewed survey days with autonomous endurance: hundreds of hours on task without a ship's company, extending the usable weather window and lowering the cost per square kilometre surveyed.

Reach what a ship cannot

Shallow basins, confined harbours, water close to structures and areas where a crewed vessel cannot safely work — surveyed at full sensor quality by a platform that draws a fraction of the depth.

A lighter footprint

Electric and hybrid platforms replace a survey vessel's fuel burn, noise and wake, which matters when the subject of the survey is the marine environment itself.

WHERE WE WORK

Mission Sets

Anti-Submarine Warfare

Detect, localise and maintain awareness of submerged platforms. Sentiq integrates autonomous platforms, underwater sensing and distributed surveillance to extend ASW coverage and strengthen the underwater threat picture.

Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance

Sense, and make sense of the maritime landscape. Sentiq combines autonomous surface, subsurface and airborne capability to extend surveillance, reduce exposure and accelerate decision-making.

Mine Countermeasures

Platforms not people in harm’s way. Sentiq configures autonomous and remotely operated systems to extend search, investigation and threat neutralisation from shore or host platform.
