Plain Sailing for Remote Controlled Unmanned Vessel

Cavotec RRCs enable the Mariner USV to be controlled from shore, from ships or fromoffshore installations. For more images of the Mariner USV in operation, please visit the Maritime Robotics home page. And for a video courtesy of Maritime Robotics, click on the image below.

The technology is primarily intended to make inspections in hazardous areas at sea, although there are many additional applications for the ports and maritime and offshore industries.

This is the latest in a series of projects Cavotec and Maritime Robotics have worked on together. While Maritime Robotics focusses primarily on USVs, Cavotec Micro-control develops industrial RRC units for the offshore, maritime, mining, process andconstruction sectors.

To get an idea of the variety of our RRC applications, have a look at our post about Cavotec Micro-control’s recent product exhibition, or here for another maritime application, and here for details of how Cavotec RRCs are helping munitions disposal.

Cavotec RRCs See Role on Small Screen

We have written about our Radio Remote Controls (RRC) before. With such a wide range of applications, we have something new to share quite often. We have seen our RRCs control oil skimmers, an unmanned vessel, Goldhofer vehicles and heavy machinery used to clear munitions from a NATO test range in Norway.

Supersonic Car Seeks to Inspire Generation of Engineers

Supersonic Car Seeks to Inspire Generation of Engineers

We start 2011 by going supersonic with news of the BLOODHOUND supersonic car (SSC) project that hopes to inspire a new generation of engineers, innovators and inventors: with a car designed to reach speeds of 1,000 mph, or Mach 1.4, an extraordinary 240 mph faster than the existing land speed record.

We connect the future.
