Our field operations capability transforms research concepts into validated results through systematic sea trials in the Aegean Sea. We maintain dedicated support infrastructure for deploying, monitoring, and recovering autonomous vessels under real maritime conditions.
Sea Trial Operations
Operating from our base in Syros, we conduct regular sea trials that combine rigorous testing protocols with the operational flexibility needed for experimental research. Our support vessel enables rapid deployment and recovery of multiple autonomous platforms, while shore-based and onboard monitoring systems provide real-time telemetry and intervention capability.
Sea trials with our autonomous swarm fleet, testing onboard COLREGS-compliant collision avoidance software. The footage demonstrates key maritime scenarios including head-on encounters, crossing situations, and coordinated multi-vessel operations.
Testing Environment
The Aegean Sea provides an ideal natural laboratory for maritime robotics research. Our location offers diverse testing conditions—from sheltered coastal waters for initial trials to open sea environments for endurance testing. Year-round accessibility and proximity to our lab facilities enable rapid iteration between development and field validation.
