Problem we are solving
We are solving the problem of re-charging autonomous underwater and surface sea vehicles. Normally, these vehicles require support vessels with engineering crews to recover and recharge them. This can cost up to 30,000$ per day of operations. We slash these costs and remove the need for crew by providing an automatic docking and charging station.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
Our solution provides a universal and automatic docking and charging platform. Existing solutions are not universal and work only with specific drones in fleets.
