高海况无人船首航作业成功
"东瓯1号"无人船船体总长7.6米、船宽1.0米、高3.2米,满载排水量1.95吨,加装稳定鳍后吃水深度达2.2米,由温州海洋中心与深圳海斯比防务信息科 技有限公司联合研制,是国内首艘海上半潜式油电混动无人测量船,其性能在国内无人船领域极具优势,具备多数同类产品稀缺的4级高海况作业能力。目 前市场上普通无人船仅能在1~2级海况下开展近岸作业,而"东瓯1号"通过优化船型设计,采用仿潜艇式船身结构,并搭配稳定鳍降低船体重心,大幅提升了 抗浪性能。在满载状态下,该船能以3节的工作航速持续作业超48小时。此外,"东瓯1号"还搭载了自主避障、实时数据传输等核心功能,可依据预设航线和 任务,在复杂环境中自主完成多波束水下地形测量与水质采样等工作。"东瓯1号"无人船可依托"东瓯号"科考母船协同作业,进一步提升海洋调查作业效 率。 目前,温州海洋中心已配齐自主水下航行器、波浪滑翔机、垂起固定翼无人机等一系列无人调查系统,构建起涵盖海洋生态调查、海底地形探测、海洋 灾害应急监测等应用场景的无人监测体系,为海洋生态文明建设、海洋经济高质量发展提供更加强有力的技术支撑。 "东瓯1号"无人船。陈恩情摄 近日,自然资源部温州海洋中心使 ...
