WAM-V22
WAM-V22
Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V®)
Innovative class of autonomous surface vessels (ASV) that use unique suspension technology to radically improve seagoing capabilities and provide an exceptionally stable platform for increased data acquisition quality. The articulating suspension and compliant hulls to isolate and reduce payload movement.
The Wam-V22 design is unique in the nearshore and offshore space, in that it is an comparably low-cost option capable of operation in SS5 conditions for 70 hours. The platform retracts via hydraulics to a narrow footprint for more efficient storage and for legal trailering.
