ASV confirms NOC C-Enduro USV order
ASV will supply one C-Enduro unmanned surface vehicle (USV) to the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in Southampton under an order announced on 11 June. The company announced the news from the Long Endurance Marine Unmanned Surface Vehicle Showcase at NOC.
The NOC will deploy the C-Enduro for oceanographic data collection over extended periods of time. C-Enduro is capable of remaining at sea for up to 90 days powered by a combination of wind power, solar power and a lightweight diesel generator.
C-Enduro was initially developed under an SBRI initiated by NOC’s requirement for a long endurance USV for environmental research. The project was co-funded by the National Environment Research Council (NERC), NOC’s parent body, with the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and the Defence, Science and Technology Laboratories (DSTL).
