SubSeaSail

Based in San Diego, CA, SubSeaSail designs and manufactures unmanned semi-submersible vessels that are wind-propelled and solar powered. SubSeaSail vessels are "Designed for Simplicity" and backed by multiple patents including a sailing vessel with the hull below the waterline and a passive wingsail control mechanism that provides autonomous manage... ment of the sail without any lines, pulleys, or electronics. This results in a revolutionary vessel design with low drag/wake and minimal detection (acoustic, IR, radar, visual) signature. Designed for long duration and persistent missions, a servo is the only electro-mechanical device required to sail. SubSeaSail is integrating 3rd party sensors and - to complement its ultra-quiet platforms - will develop unique sensors. It has filed a Provisional Patent on a Reconfigurable, Rigid Passive Acoustic Array that will enable acoustic detection of targets including marine mammals and vessels at an unprecedented price point. The combination of SSS vessel and sensors at a disruptive price will allow ocean observation in more locations and in ways including fleets and swarms not previously possible.Read More
