Innovative Partnerships for Enhanced Autonomous Maritime Monitoring

Ascent Vision Technologies Australia (AVTA), based in Melbourne, has collaborated with Maritime Robotics to integrate its CM62 Micro Gimbal with the Otter uncrewed surface vessel (USV) platform. This partnership aims to enhance autonomous maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The Otter USV, known for its precise data acquisition capabilities in littoral and shallow areas, seamlessly incorporates the CM62 for improved surveillance functionalities. Its modular catamaran design and advanced navigation system allow for easy integration with leading survey sensors, ensuring high-quality ocean data collection.

Equipped with an efficient electric propulsion system, the Otter can operate emission-free for up to 20 hours, depending on conditions and payload. Its compact and modular design enables convenient transportation and deployment, while an innovative plug-and-play system simplifies payload integration, enhancing mobility and versatility during field operations. The CM62 Micro Gimbal, weighing only 260g, offers high-resolution electro-optical (EO) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensors for exceptional day and night situational awareness, aiding in persistent surveillance and strategic land control.

The collaboration between the CM62 Micro Gimbal and Otter USV provides a robust solution for comprehensive autonomous surveillance and data acquisition, empowering operators with precise intelligence for mission success in maritime and coastal environments. AVT Australia, a leading supplier of lightweight gyro-stabilized imaging systems, specializes in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and target acquisition operations. With expertise in advanced engineering services, AVT Australia is a trusted provider of imaging solutions for Australian defense customers and international clients, supporting operations in over 50 countries.
