C-STAT Mobile Buoy Systems
The C-STAT offers a new capability in the positioning of equipment at sea for extended durations without the need for ships or sea-bed anchoring.
Developed by ASV and C&C Technologies, the C-STAT uses a state-of-the-art autonomous controller and station keeping system integrated with the companies C-NAV® GPS system and a novel diesel electric hybrid power system. The hull has been optimised for ocean performance and ease of launch and recovery. Three sizes of C-STAT are currently in development, offering deployments of 4 days, 15 days and over 30 days. ASV and C&C Technologies can supply integrated sensor payloads or assist end users in configuring their own. The control system user interface allows for the automated control and monitoring of multiple units via line of site of satellite radio communications.
