Project:

OCEANTECH

‍

Main Objective

Its main goals include the development of new scientific knowledge, which allows the advancement, production, and delivery of new products, processes, and services for deep ocean exploration, which are to be released in a global market.

‍

Overview

The project’s promoters intend to break the actual paradigm based on the necessity from economic agents to access information – obtained in-situ in the oceans -, and aim to streamline decision-making processes associated to their areas of expertise. They also have one common mission:  the development, test, and validation of a pioneer and unique solution in the global market, based, by the first time, on the collaborative use of distinct data acquisition platforms (autonomous vehicles, fixed platforms and hybrid vehicles), from which, by using disruptive technologies and innovative communications systems. By taking together this common mission, it is intended to conceive a solution that assures proper communication between different platforms but also between them, the support infrastructure, and an operational management system. This ensures data integration, processing, and delivery through the proper channels.
