Bluebottle

描述

Bluebottle是Ocius的Military。 面向資料蒐集、偵察、研究設計。

Bluebottle is Ocius' uncrewed surface vessel (USV), an Australian-designed 7.4 m autonomous boat powered by solar, wind and wave energy that can stay at sea for months while keeping an acoustically quiet environment for underwater listening. Its patented design, with a rigid solar sail, lets it carry sophisticated payloads for low-observable surface and subsurface intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare, communications gateways, hydrography and mine countermeasures, electronic warfare and scientific work, alone or teamed with other surface and undersea assets. Bluebottles have been in service with the Royal Australian Navy, operated 24/7, since July 2024; Ocius cites a record of over six months continuously at sea, about 300 operational days a year and operation up to sea state 8 on the Beaufort scale. It is launched from a boat ramp by a standard 4x4 vehicle or by crane, and a Bluebottle Hybrid version adds a diesel generator on the same hull for low-light, high-latitude winter operations and high-power payloads.
