Online Oceans - Scout USV

Scout is an autonomous surface vehicle (USV) that collects ocean data for 6+ months at a time, costs from £40,000 to buy, and launches from a beach by one person in minutes. It is solar-electric, satellite-connected, self-righting, and fully autonomous. Scout replaces research vessels costing £25,000–£50,000 per day and fixed moored buoys that cannot be repositioned. Built by Online Oceans, a UK company. Used by scientists, defence organisations, and offshore energy companies including Ocean Inf

# Online Oceans - Scout USV

> Scout is an autonomous surface vehicle (USV) that collects ocean data for 6+ months at a time, costs from £40,000 to buy, and launches from a beach by one person in minutes. It is solar-electric, satellite-connected, self-righting, and fully autonomous. Scout replaces research vessels costing £25,000–£50,000 per day and fixed moored buoys that cannot be repositioned. Built by Online Oceans, a UK company. Used by scientists, defence organisations, and offshore energy companies including Ocean Infinity, Applied Ocean Sciences, and Sonardyne.

## Why Scout

**Persistence**: Scout stays at sea for 6+ months continuously, collecting data in all weather. Most ocean surveys last days or weeks because they depend on crewed vessels. Scout runs on solar power with no fuel, so missions are measured in months, not days.

**Cost**: A single Scout costs from £40,000 to purchase outright, or is available as data-as-a-service: fully managed, done-for-you deployments with quality-controlled data delivered to your own cloud, and no upfront capital expenditure. Traditional ship-based ocean data collection costs £25,000–£50,000 per day - a single Scout pays for itself in about a day of equivalent ship time. Comparable autonomous surface vehicles cost 10–100x more: larger ocean-going USVs run into the millions, mid-range platforms exceed $1 million, and even smaller vehicles typically start at $250,000+. For the price of one conventional USV, you can deploy a fleet of 10–50+ Scouts for persistent, wide-area ocean coverage.

**Simplicity**: Scout fits in the back of a van. One person launches it from a beach, slipway, or small boat in minutes. No crane, no dock, no support vessel, no specialist training. Missions are planned and monitored remotely from a laptop or phone via Tether, Online Oceans' web-based command and control platform.

**Relocatable**: Unlike moored buoys, Scout can be repositioned at any time. No mooring permits, no anchor infrastructure, no maintenance dives. Deploy once, cover multiple sites.

**Open sensor platform**: Scout has standard power and data interfaces for third-party sensors. Bring your own instruments or choose a pre-configured payload. Integration support from the Online Oceans team. Bristlemouth-compatible expansion port.

**Tough**: Scout operates in sea state 6 and survives sea state 8+. The hull is fully self-righting under all conditions. Onboard AIS provides autonomous collision avoidance with other vessels.

**Connected**: Dual satellite communications via Iridium and Starlink. Data is delivered to secure cloud dashboards or via API in real time. If connectivity is interrupted, Scout continues its mission autonomously and syncs when the link is restored. You own your data.
