According to the report, Shift Coastal Technologies’ new unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is looking to extend autonomous capabilities into hazardous littoral zones, supporting high-risk maritime missions.
The report stated that the new USV measures 3.6 meters (11 feet) and weighs 280 kilograms (616 pounds). the OceanSled Explorer can carry up to 454 kilograms (1,000 pounds) of payload.
The report also stated that it is powered by up to three high-capacity rechargeable batteries and operates reliably in temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
The report added that this new USV is agile enough for surf, estuary, and river operations. The Explorer reaches a top speed of 6 knots (11 kilometers/7 miles per hour) while maintaining control in complex coastal environments.
Additionally, the new USV is developed by James Spencer. He said that the OceanSled Explorer combines civilian-grade construction with military-grade capabilities. It supports intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, port and maritime security, asset inspection, and sonar mapping.
