Aanderaa Equipment
Sailbuoy Autonomous Surface Vehicle
Long-endurance wind-driven autonomous surface vessel developed by Offshore Sensing AS, equipped with Aanderaa smart sensors for upper-ocean measurements.
Description
The Sailbuoy is a long-endurance, wind-driven Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) developed by Offshore Sensing AS and equipped with the Aanderaa Smart Sensor Suite. It collects upper-ocean current measurements and other oceanographic data in remote areas, has operated near the ice edge and in the Antarctic, and crossed the Atlantic as the first unmanned vessel to do so.
Key features
- Wind-driven propulsion with solar-powered instrumentation
- Real-time data transmission to shore
- Track updates from a computer, tablet or smartphone
- Sensors include current profiler, oxygen optode (1.5% accuracy with multi-point calibration), conductivity/salinity, temperature, turbidity and chlorophyll
- Deployment and retrieval possible by untrained personnel
Applications
Long-duration oceanographic surveys in remote and polar waters, upper-ocean current measurement and environmental monitoring.
