VIDEO: Autopilot control where it matters for the REAV-25 USV

HydroSurv has trusted Dynautics for over 6 years to provide robust autopilot control systems for their range of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). This video, about the battery-electric REAV-25 USV, demonstrates how the collaboration has more recently resulted in the development of updated autopilot control technology to reliably drive a rim-driven thruster vessel, designed to

Reducing time to launch for USVs

At Dynautics, we know first-hand how challenging it is to design and build an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV). Based on over 30 years of experience, we have developed adaptive autopilot and VCS technologies and dynamic simulation tools to get you to on-water trials faster and more efficiently, reducing time to launch for USVs. We

Autopilot for rim-driven thruster USV design

CASE STUDY: Dynautics has provided an autopilot solution for HydroSurv's new, rim-driven thruster USV design. HydroSurv is a global provider of Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) platforms for hydrographic, geophysical and oceanographic survey. The company, based in Exeter, United Kingdom, offers a range of electric and hybrid USVs from 2.5 to 6 metres for inland,

Controlling wave-propelled USVs

In the 25 years since Dynautics was established (take a look at our company timeline here), we have encountered a wide range of vessels, missions and combinations of propulsors and steering devices, for both surface and subsurface vessels. The team has developed methods to combine control parameters in different ways to suit the vessel
