ALSEAMAR Platform Family
Unmanned Platform
ALSEAMAR develops a family of unmanned platforms, including gliders, AUVs, and USVs, offering leading-edge solutions and services for defense, oceanographic, and marine energy applications.
Mission Profile
ALSEAMAR's unmanned platforms are designed to provide advanced solutions across diverse maritime and underwater environments. Their primary role encompasses data acquisition, surveillance, and intervention tasks for both military and civilian sectors. In defense, these platforms contribute to maritime domain awareness, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) support, mine countermeasures (MCM), and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, operating covertly and persistently in contested or hazardous areas. For oceanographic and marine energy applications, the platforms are employed for environmental monitoring, hydrographic surveys, offshore infrastructure inspection, and supporting renewable energy projects. They offer capabilities for long-duration missions, collecting critical oceanographic data, assessing marine ecosystems, and ensuring the integrity of subsea assets. The employment context emphasizes reducing human risk, increasing operational efficiency, and enabling persistent presence in remote or challenging marine environments.
