AGISTAR’s OXR-T100 is a 4000W electric outboard motor developed to provide precise, low-noise propulsion for oceanographic and environmental applications.
Designed for shallow and ecologically sensitive waters, the system supports reliable operation for research vessels and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) engaged in mapping, monitoring, and field support activities.
Operation in Shallow and Sensitive Environments
The OXR-T100’s shallow draft and ducted propeller design enable controlled navigation in estuaries, coral reefs, mangroves, salt marshes, and other habitats where conventional propulsion systems may not be suitable. This configuration helps reduce disturbance to marine habitats while safeguarding both the environment and the propulsion system during nearshore operations.
Quiet and Emission-Free Performance
Combustion-based engines can introduce acoustic and exhaust emissions that interfere with underwater data collection and disturb marine life. The OXR-T100’s electric drive produces minimal operational noise and no direct emissions, supporting survey and sampling work where low disturbance levels are beneficial to data accuracy and environmental monitoring.
Precise Control for Survey and Mapping Tasks
The OXR-T100 delivers stable and responsive thrust, helping maintain accurate survey transects during mapping or bathymetric work. Its waterproof remote-control unit offers a range of up to approximately one kilometer under suitable conditions, allowing flexible operation in areas where direct access may be limited or unsafe.
Deployment in Rapid-Response Operations
Compact and lightweight, the OXR-T100 can be deployed quickly for time-sensitive field work, including marine pollution response, oil spill containment, or nearshore inspection activities. Its portability also supports use in infrastructure assessments around piers, jetties, and subsea pipelines where larger vessels cannot operate effectively.
Support for Field Logistics
Beyond scientific roles, the OXR-T100 aids in transporting personnel, sampling tools, and equipment to coastal sites that are difficult for larger craft to access. This enhances logistical flexibility for research teams conducting operations in confined or shallow environments.
Low-Impact Propulsion for Research Operations
Combining quiet performance with efficient power delivery, AGISTAR’s OXR-T100 offers a practical propulsion solution for oceanographic and environmental studies. Its design helps researchers perform low-disturbance surveys and monitoring tasks in sensitive marine settings while maintaining operational efficiency and control.
