SeeByte was founded in 2001 with a vision of improving un- derwater operations by combin- ing streams of sensor-derived data to deliver enhanced perfor- mance in inaccessible underwa- ter situations or locations.SeeByte has achieved a position of leadership in the development of smart software for remote or unmanned assets in both the mil-itary and energy sectors, and provides products and services to major government and commercial clients around the world. SeeByte has worked to automate complex technology chal- lenges for the naval Mine Counter Measures (MCM) commu- nity, where the company?s  agship product, SeeTrack, is used to enable asset-agnostic mission planning, mission execution and post mission data management. Within the Oil & Gas in- dustry, SeeByte has automated the tracking of pipelines with man-portable AUVs, provided the most advanced control ca- pabilities for ROVs, and, in partnership with Subsea 7, devel- oped the software for the industry?s  rst truly autonomous in- spection vehicle (AIV). SeeByte is now partnering with other subsea product providers to offer whole product solutions. The Tech The Tech SeeTrack Military is an open-architecture platform solu-tion for rapid on-site analysis & data fusion. Developed as a mission-planning, monitoring & post-processing tool, this technology has been successfully deployed on many surveys, operations & scienti c experiments. SeeTrack CoPilot has led the way in the offshore oil & gas industry automating standard inspection & repair procedures on subsea structures by being easily retro- tted to ROVs in the  eld. It helps the operator carry-out the same inspection time & time again so that data can be easily compared while providing improved survey data. SeeTrack AutoTracker was developed to enable AUVs to carry-out export pipeline in- spections using its existing payload sensors to detect & adjust its own trajectory to accurately track the pipeline.
