Science and Research

Deep-sea explorers and shipwreck investigators have been using unmanned submersibles to explore the mysteries of the deep since the 1980s. Today, unmanned submersibles are being put to use for nearly every underwater need imaginable- including seafloor mapping, fish and whale tracking, water contaminate testing, and coral reef exploration.

As sea levels rise, water temperatures change, and underwater life reacts to these changes, it is more important than ever that scientists and researchers have the tools necessary to study the effects wherever they may be occurring. 

Virginia's Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries provide the perfect conditions for unmanned underwater systems testing. Come see why companies all over the country come to Virginia to test their products!
