Tracer is a portable, single-operator USV (uncrewed surface vessel) combining compact form factor with real-time imaging and autonomous navigation for a variety of marine applications.
Ready to launch in seconds, Tracer can target multiple waypoints with precise accuracy and perform underwater sonar scans.
Applications: Limnology, Bathymetry, Search and Rescue, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Environmental Monitoring, Port and Infrastructure inspection.
Compact Form Factor
At only 0.83 m and less than 12.2 kg, Tracer USV utilizes a compact design that excels in fast-paced environments and gives you the flexibility to hit the water at a moment’s notice. Unlike other USV vessels, you can launch Tracer in water levels as shallow as 10 inches, eliminating the need of a dedicated docking area or team.
Autonomous Navigation
Trace USV is powered by Marine Tensor™, Marine Thinking’s AI-driven autonomous technology platform that provides intelligent performance and self-operation capabilities to crewed and uncrewed surface vessels.
Using simple and intuitive touchscreen controls, quickly and easily pre-set multiple target locations for a single route. Once set, Marine Tensor™ autonomously calculates and implements the optimal navigation strategy to successfully complete your mission.
Unexpected environmental changes? No problem. Switch to manual control to at any time. Once course corrected, switch back to autonomous navigation and return to the mission route.
*Tracer model equipped with autopilot only.
Real-Time Imaging
Tracer USV features integrated sonar system, along with a FHD front camera. Watch each mission unfold in real-time from three simultaneous data displays. Capture, record, and play back hours of mission footage – safely secured in a IP55-rated waterproof hull.
Use Tracer’s screen share feature to collaborate with team members and let them watch the mission play out in real-time.
*Real-Time Sonar Imaging only available on Tracer S model.
Remote Payload Release
Tracer USV features a dedicated tow and release system, giving operators the ability to make important payload deliveries during trips. The autonomous USV can transport a wide range of floatable materials and remotely deploy them with pinpoint accuracy and precise timing.
Easy To Launch
No WLAN stations or field PCs required. Just switch on and use the dedicated 7” touchscreen controller to run the mission.
Cloud-Based Data Management
Vessel status, real-time mission progress, and past mission records — safely access your data from a secure cloud portal.
