Greensea Systems Inc. Greensea Systems, Inc. develops software specializing in control and navigation systems for ROVs and AUVs derived from a common core architecture. Providing both commercial software products and custom software development, Green- sea strives to deliver powerful operator workspaces and vehi- cle control software worldwide to the military, commercial and scientiÞ c offshore communities. In short, Greensea develops software to make offshore op- erations more efÞ cient, productive, and reliable. The automa- tion, integrated workspace, and precision navigation capabili- ties provided by the openSEA technology and the commercial products BaleÞ re and Endal, enable unprecedented efÞ ciency and performance in ROVs while lowering the training required for consistent and reliable operations. Based on a fundamental commitment to robustness, reliability, and ease of use, Green- sea has developed its technology by working offshore along- side ROV operators. GreenseaÕs control systems and operator workspaces provide a cohesive operating environment with au- tomated functions, station keeping, dynamic positioning, and sonar integration so that crews can work smarter and more ef- Þ ciently. Common application areas of GreenseaÕs technology include offshore oil and gas, exploration, science, and military activities including EOD, MCM, and UXO. GreenseaÕs con- trol, navigation, and operator workspace products for ROVs and AUVs easily support new builds, upgrades and retroÞ ts to existing systems, and OEM product development. Greensea provides commercial software products as well as bespoke software and integration packages. ¥ Commercial Products: Greensea offers a commercial ROV operator workspace, navigation, and control solution named BaleÞ re and a commercial forward looking sonar integration package named Endal. In addition, Greensea provides standard product solutions for data logging, down hole control, sensor management, and software development tools. ¥ openSEA: The Open Software and Equipment Architec- ture (openSEA) is the foundation technology used in all of GreenseaÕs products. The openSEA library and software suite provides robust capabilities for automation, communications, fault management, hardware interfaces, and more than 600 na- tive device drivers for the underwater industry. ¥ Services: Greensea provides bespoke software development and integration based on our commercial products and core technologies. Hypack HYPACK reportedly was the Þ rst hydrographic surveying software in windows environment. It has become the standard package in the industry, and has all the tools needed to com- plete any job, with more than 8,000 users worldwide, and more than 25 years of experience. HYPACK, Inc. developed a Windows based software for the Hydrographic and Dredging Industry. Founded in 1984, HYPACK, Inc.(formerly Coastal Oceanographics, Inc.) has evolved from a small hydrographic consultant to a successful provider of hydrographic and navigation software worldwide.
