SURF ZONE CHALLENGES:

BRIDGING THE GAP WITH

BAYONET CRAWLERS

Picture a world where the tumultuous surf zone, with its strong currents, pounding waves, and poor visibility, no longer poses a challenge to environmental monitoring or oceanic operations.

Enter the Bayonet crawlers, the newest line of amphibious robots launched last year by Bayonet Ocean Vehicles and Greensea

Systems Inc, designed to venture where Autonomous Underwater

Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) falter, making them a game-changer for coastal survey and monitoring.
