Quaze Technologies has partnered with Vatn Systems to revolutionize underwater robotics by introducing fully autonomous, remote wireless charging for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). This strategic agreement aims to enhance the operational capabilities of AUVs used by the U.S. military and allies, addressing the challenges of traditional recharging methods.
Quaze’s innovative charging technology allows unmanned systems to recharge without human intervention, utilizing the QU6 product line, which features modular and resilient components. Vatn’s AUVs are designed for cost-effective, high-performance underwater missions, equipped with advanced navigation systems that function in GPS-denied environments. However, traditional physical connectors for recharging have been a significant drawback.
Through this collaboration, Quaze’s wireless charging receivers will be integrated into Vatn’s Skelmir S-6 AUVs, enabling them to autonomously recharge at remote docking points. This integration not only enhances operational endurance but also minimizes maintenance needs and operator exposure to threats. Both companies are committed to developing further underwater charging solutions to advance AUV capabilities.
CEOs Xavier Bidaut of Quaze and Nelson Mills of Vatn emphasize that this partnership represents a significant leap in autonomous maritime operations, aiming to set new standards in the industry.
