IQT24: Low-cost autonomous maritime loitering platform
Program:
Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
Sponsor IQTLabs builds & plays in the Open Source ecosystem to understand emerging risks and opportunities. This project’s aim is to increase understanding of maritime awareness capabilities. What is possible with a small budget, minimal manufacturing equipment, and creative thinking? The IQT24 team used an iterative design process to develop an autonomous, satellite linked surface vessel capable of loitering, and performing missions with the onboard payload, for up to 4 weeks in a rough ocean environment.
