02:00Japan: Check out the latest maritime technology on display at MAST Asia 2015
Companies Liquid Robotics and Insitu Inc exhibited their latest unmanned marine vehicle, the Wave Glider SV2, and the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the Integrator and ScanEagle, respectively at Japan's international defense event for maritime security and technology, MastAsia 2015, in Yokohama on Wednesday.
Liquid Robotic's Wave Glider SV2 is an unmanned marine vehicle that uses kinetic and solar energy for multiple purposes from science, marine data collection, intelligence, security, geophysics or meteorological uses. The SV2 can collect and transmit data gathered during missions of up to one year and over a distance of thousands of miles using GPS, satellite, Wifi or other wireless communication methods in all weather conditions.
Insitu Inc's ScanEagle UAV system boasts over 20 hours of endurance for data collection or security use. In flight, it can reach speeds of up to 80 knots. The Integrator UAV system, designed to be a modular, flexible and multi-mission capable solution for land and maritime operations, features over 24 hours of endurance and a maximum speed of over 90 knots. The Integrator aircraft contains six payload spaces that may be customised with cameras, communications or other payloads to suit operational requirements. Both UAVs can be launched from almost anywhere as they require no nets or runways.
Mast Asia 2015 is endorsed by Japan's Ministry of Defense with support from the US Navy's 7th Fleet Command, Australia's Department of Defense and UKTI (UK Trade and Investment).
