Open Ocean Robotics is a leading developer of sustainable marine technologies, providing solar-powered Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) that deliver endurance, autonomy, and real-time ocean intelligence for a wide range of maritime missions.
The company is showcasing its portfolio on OST, including the DataXplorer™ USV range, XplorerView™ cloud-based data portal, Enhanced Horizon™ detection system, and Underwater Listener™ acoustic analytics suite, supporting diverse operational and research requirements.
DataXplorer™ USV Platform
The DataXplorer™ is a solar-powered, zero-emission uncrewed surface vehicle designed for long-endurance missions in challenging marine environments. Its self-righting hull, quiet electric propulsion, and modular payload bay enable flexible integration of cameras, navigation systems, and environmental sensors.
Compact and easily transportable, it can be launched from shore or vessel and supports satellite, cellular, and radio communications for secure over-the-horizon control and real-time data transmission. Configurable variants are available for applications including environmental monitoring, hydrographic survey, maritime domain awareness, and marine mammal observation.
DataXplorer™ Protect
Designed for maritime domain awareness and enforcement operations, this configuration features multiple thermal cameras, covert coloring, and enhanced situational awareness sensors for round-the-clock surveillance and asset protection.
DataXplorer™ Enviro
Equipped for environmental monitoring, DataXplorer™ Enviro supports eDNA sampling, CTD profiling, and marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) studies. Optional modules include a profiling winch, additional cameras, or expanded battery capacity.
DataXplorer™ Listen
Featuring AI-driven hydrophones, DataXplorer™ Listen detects and classifies underwater sounds, supporting both environmental monitoring and maritime security applications.
DataXplorer™ Survey
Configured for hydrographic and bathymetric missions, this version integrates advanced mapping sensors to capture high-resolution seafloor and sub-surface data for research and industrial projects.
DataXplorer™ METOC
Designed for meteorological and oceanographic operations, it measures winds, waves, currents, and climate variables in extreme weather conditions up to Beaufort scale 8, ideal for offshore energy and weather modeling.
XplorerView™ Portal
XplorerView™ is a cloud-based data management and control platform that provides real-time vessel oversight, mission planning, and advanced analytics.
Using AI-powered tools, it transforms complex datasets into actionable insights while allowing multi-user collaboration and secure data sharing.
Key features include:
- Real-time vessel control with integrated environmental and marine traffic data
- Multi-USV mission planning with customized waypoint and loiter options
- AI-based object and marine mammal detection
- Comprehensive navigation overlays with bathymetric charts and tide data
- Solar energy management and telemetry analytics for efficient operations
Enhanced Horizon™
Enhanced Horizon™ is an AI-based detection and identification system that uses high-resolution optical and thermal video to recognize vessels, marine debris, and other hazards. Operating with onboard edge processing, it identifies large targets at distances up to 9 nautical miles and can detect vessels not transmitting AIS signals.
Underwater Listener™
Underwater Listener™ is an onboard acoustic analytics system that identifies sound sources both above and below the surface through AI-driven classification. It provides real-time acoustic situational awareness, supporting missions focused on wildlife monitoring, environmental assessment, and security operations.
