Data buoys & drifters
Whether you’re looking for single channel monitoring recorded autonomously or large scale multi-parameter off-shore metocean measurements with real-time access to data and intelligent alarms, Oxford Blue Systems has the solution.
The new Prefect series of instrumented data-buoys for metocean and environmental monitoring cover a spectrum of applications from inland waters, estuarine and coastal through to large offshore systems. The service includes the provision of secure hosted real-time data telemetry. Download the outline summary on Prefect data-buoys.
Small drifters come from Ocean Trek Research™ who has spent the last decade providing innovative solutions in the marine surveying environment. OTR build small tracking buoys with integrated communication and mapping for drifting ghost nets, oil spills and water quality monitoring and has secured contracts with OrbImage and NOAA research projects. Further customisation is possible for moored applications such as turbidity and water quality monitoring.
Moorings can make or break the venture. A good design can help to minimise costs in other areas such as flotation platform and telemetry. Oxford Blue Systems will work with a specialist designer to tailor the package to the location environment.
Tide & Waves, Water Level and Current Monitoring
The simplest solutions are often the most reliable. Pressure based technology has many advantages over float gauges in tidal measurement and Oxford Blue Systems can offer both submersible and barometric compensated “top-side” instruments. Instruments giving resolution to the “parts per thousand” are available. Acoustic instruments also have a part to play, especially if current measurements and wave direction are required. Oxford Blue Systems has the solution.
Aerial Reconnaissance
Airborne Technologies Inc. has been developing innovative remote sensing and survey solutions for over twenty years. ATI is dedicated to providing military, off-shore and scientific communities with flexible and affordable unmanned aircraft, autopilots, and related systems and worked with NASA and NOAA to provide aerial survey and debris monitoring.
The Resolution UAS provides a cost-effective real-time imaging and data acquisition platform for research and surveillance in sea or land-based applications. It has a flexible payload and includes IMU-based autopilot.
