Open Ocean Robotics validates DataXplorer at NOAA Station 46012
Open Ocean Robotics deployed a solar-powered DataXplorer with XplorerView at NOAA Station 46012 to sustain meteorological and oceanographic observations in Monterey Bay.
Evidence notes
- The platform maintained controlled station-keeping about 10 nautical miles offshore.
- It delivered 19 weeks of continuous near-real-time observations using redundant cellular and satellite communications.
- Remote oversight through XplorerView reduced reliance on vessel-based servicing while operations remained ongoing.
Company context
Open Ocean Robotics develops solar-powered uncrewed surface vehicles for maritime security, ocean data and persistent awareness. Its autonomous boats collect real-time information for government, environmental and offshore operating contexts.
