Protecting Offshore Energy Infrastructure Using Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs)

Offshore Source Article lists MANTAS as an emerging technology enabling the safety and security of offshore energy infrastructure .

This USV technology can be used today to conduct safer, faster and more thorough inspections of offshore oil and gas rigs as well as their vast array bottom-mounted pipelines and valves. This can result in a substantial decrease in the number of ROV missions and the use of human divers. One concept of operations would have one, or more, 12-foot MANTAS under the control of the Rig Command Center in an oil or gas platform.
