Mobile continuous and real time control of physical, biological and chemical parameters associated with hazardous effluents.
Possibility of stablishing links with fixed measuring buoys. Uncontrolled “micro dumping” prevention and detection, including the possibility of acquiring images, determining and following exact position of a potential agressor by means of movement detection, image recognition and real time data link, despite any visibility condition, over and underwater.
Possibility of deployment of a wide arrange of sensors and equipment, linked to the Drone or independant and dispensables.
Control and accounting of freight loadings and unloadings. Docking surveillance and monitoring.
Possibility of identification and recovery of elements that could affect the port and shore security, including simultaneous over and underwater image acquisition (Optical, infrared, radar, laser…).
Identification and alerts in ports about “new” elements attached to structures or ships, over or underwater, visibility conditions independant.
Faster and automatic inspection of zones without diver personnel deployment, remotelly controlled or automatic using preprogramming of route and search patterns. Sensor outputs and image in real time. Possibility of IFF systems integration.

Electronic or physical marking of the searched elements exact positions, improving the possibility of direct insertion of diving personnel once and only at the particular location and minimizing their diving time.
Real time detection, identification, positioning and tracing of fishing stocks away from the lead fishing vessel or deployed from every ship at the fishery zone. Aquisition of data concerning accurate position and movement of the interesting fish stock. Accounting of specimens, mean size and total biomass data.
Possibility of performing automatic (-and simultaneous to the fish tasks-) searchs, in order to optimize fish catches and minimize their costs.
Possibility of physical and biochemical parameter retrieval in the waters where fish stocks are localized (Temperature, current direction and velocity, salinity, turbidity, suspended solids…) in order to optimize the predictions concerning most probable movement of the fishing stock.
Automatic and autonomous identification and accounting of marine and river species. Surveillance of progression and movements associated to simultaneous measurements of water quality parameters that could affect the species.
Automatic identification, accounting and surveillance, optimizing personnel costs, of controlled breeding fish species concerning aquaculture industries at the sea.
Associated control of water quality parameters that could affect the industry, optimizing its results.
Search and rescue Drone deployment for, a.e. “man overboard” emergencies, alternative, with much less risk and at a significantly lower cost than a classic Boutakow maneuver.
Possibility of controlled delivery of life preserve floats and person tow back to a fixed position. Real time managed in whatever visibility condition.
Detection, accurate positioning, identification and image of underwater elements, down to 4,000 m. depth, visibility conditions independant
In order to perform these tasks several sensors and integrated sensor arrays are used, always fitted to the target, environment and particular duties of each particular platform
