The Dynautics Vessel Datalogger provides an integrated onboard system for recording mission data and enabling real-time vessel monitoring across ocean science platforms. Designed with operational experience from USV and AUV development, it supports continuous capture of critical vessel information, helping operators and service teams maintain visibility of system behaviour during both active missions and post-mission review.
Through an intuitive web-based application, the system presents live and historical datasets for improved operational oversight. This becomes especially valuable in scenarios involving temporary communication loss, where onboard records allow rapid verification of vessel status and control modes. Supporting industry expectations for safety-critical data logging in uncrewed marine operations, the system records navigation, command, control, and machinery signals using mixed ASCII and binary formats at sampling rates of 10 Hz or higher.

The system is engineered to consolidate multiple vessel data streams into a single recording architecture, supporting both high-level operational review and low-level diagnostic analysis. Its combination of serial, CANbus, and Ethernet connectivity enables broad integration across marine sensor and control ecosystems, while maintaining continuous onboard recording capability for extended deployments.
The web interface enables stakeholders to access structured mission datasets without requiring direct system-level access, improving efficiency in operational review and post-mission reporting workflows.
