The Spotter Platform delivers real-time ocean intelligence to hundreds of organizations worldwide. Now, Spotter USV extends that trusted sensing to locations that were previously out of reach, including deep water and anywhere a fixed mooring isn't practical.

Join us on Wednesday, April 15th at 9am PT for a first look at Spotter USV, an uncrewed surface vehicle that can station-keep offshore for months, deploy as a drifter and return home on command, or transit between sites to observe how conditions vary across a region. All data flows to the same Spotter Dashboard and API trusted by your team.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

  • What Spotter USV is and how it extends the Spotter Platform beyond the constraints of moorings
  • Key capabilities including deep water station keeping, return-to-home drifting, and spatial surveys
  • Live demos of vessel mission planning, real-time ocean data in the updated Spotter Dashboard, and vessel control in action
  • Q&A with Sofar's Product team and tips on how to get started with Spotter USV

Whether you're planning an offshore monitoring campaign, looking for alternatives to complex deep water moorings, or exploring how a mobile platform can extend your existing Spotter network, this is the place to start.
