ELWAVE develops underwater perception sensors based on electric sense & technology. It is a biomimetics electromagnetic technology which provides a real-time 360 perception of the environment in any simple and complex environment (turbid water, very close to infrastructure, shallow water ...).
ELWAVE develops and commercializes two 1st on-the-shelf products for Q4 2020 / Q1 2021 :
- 360 & safety shield & sensor for navigation aid to subsea vehicles in complex environments
-buried objects detection sensor for the detection and the survey of cables, pipelines, mines/UxO. Especially, UxO is a major issue in North and Baltic seas for the safe installation and operation of subsea activities (Offshore wind, harbour infrastructure, rivers dredging ...).
The main competitive advantage is the unique real-time 360 detection capability of any kind of objects (metallic, plastic, ...) in any environment (turbid waters, into the sediments ...). No other technology can perform this.
