Discover zero-emission, safe and affordable ocean monitoring with DataXplorer™

WE OFFER BETTER WAYS OF SEEING OUR OCEANS

Open Ocean Robotics offers safer, more affordable, and sustainable ways to collect and manage oceanographic and maritime data. Our autonomous robotic data collection platform and cloud-based software system provide real-time data acquisition with AI driven analytics.

DataXplorer™ is our solar-powered uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) with innovative patented technologies, offering persistent emission-free ocean data acquisition in extreme sea states. Paired with XplorerView™, our cloud-based data management and USV control system,

we offer a whole new way to understand and protect our oceans.

UNCREWED
SURFACE
VEHICLES

DataXplorer™ is a solar powered ocean drone, also called an uncrewed surface vehicle (USV). Powered by the sun, it can stay on the ocean for extended time periods, collecting ocean and environmental data using its suite of sensors. Capable of travelling in both coastal and open-ocean waters, and with a customizable platform for multiple sensor integration, it offers the ability to understand our oceans in a whole new way.

DataXplorer™ can be used for a wide range of ocean data collection applications

RESEARCH &
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Open Ocean Robotics excels in collecting a wide range of oceanographic and atmospheric data to support research and environmental monitoring. It enables precise biogeochemical and physical parameter measurements from the sea surface to depth. Coupled with with extended missions and real-time data transmission, DataXplorer's autonomous and long-duration operation provides researchers and environmental agencies with the tools they need.

We help researchers and environmental monitoring agencies with:

seafloor bathymetry

marine biodiversity monitoring
benthic habitats and fisheries surveys
carbon credit Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)
eDNA sampling
ocean current profiling

OFFSHORE ENERGY

Open Ocean Robotics offers sustainable and efficient lifecycle monitoring solutions tailored to the offshore energy sector. Our technology is designed to help the offshore wind industry achieve 5x growth by 2030 to produce 330 GW, enough to power all of Canada plus three of the top 10 producers of offshore wind energy (Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium).

We help offshore energy with:

protected species observations
site assessments

environmental monitoring
asset security
weather and ocean current monitoring
benthic survey

MARITIME
DOMAIN AWARENESS

Open Ocean Robotics provides robust and reliable maritime domain awareness solutions to address the challenges faced in the vast maritime domain.  DataXplorer™ offers real-time monitoring of maritime activities, enhancing situational awareness for security, safety, economic, and environmental purposes. By continuously collecting and transmitting data, the USV enables better decision-making processes, ensuring safer navigation and the sustainable use of waterways.

We help industry and government organizations with:

critical infrastructure protection
counter smuggling, trafficking, and transshipment

Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing enforcement
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)

CONFIGURE
YOUR DX FLEET

DataXplorer™ comes in a base configuration, as well as models for select markets.

Customers can further customize their USV with add-on sensors and specialized integrations.

DataXplorer™

DataXplorer™ measures weather conditions, ocean currents, water depth, and water temperature. It also scans the horizon with its 360-degree camera and AIS transponder.

DataXplorer Protect™

DataXplorer Protect™ adds additional sensors and features for maritime domain awareness, asset security, and illegal fishing enforcement. With multiple thermal cameras and covert colouring, it allows day and night time operations in sensitive areas.

DataXplorer Enviro™

DataXplorer Enviro™ has additional oceanographic and environmental sensors that can be customized for seafloor mapping, metocean data collection, and marine mammal monitoring. Customizable with a profiling winch, underwater cameras, or towed sensors, it addresses a range of environmental needs.
