Know What's Beneath

Autonomous underwater intelligence for mapping, monitoring, and understanding the world's water systems.

AquatIQ deploys autonomous surface and underwater drones to continuously scan, map, and detect changes beneath the surface, turning unknown environments into actionable intelligence.

The Problem

The underwater world is largely unknown.

Below the surface, critical infrastructure and environmental change are still measured in fragments. That leaves operators reacting late, spending too much, and learning too slowly.

Infrastructure sits unseen and unmonitored

Pipelines, hulls, intake systems, and subsea assets stay out of view until risk becomes expensive.

Inspections are expensive, slow, and manual

Specialized crews, vessels, and windows of calm weather make routine monitoring difficult to scale.

Environmental changes go undetected

Sediment shifts, debris, erosion, and biological growth accumulate beneath the surface without clear signals.

Data is fragmented and outdated

Point-in-time scans rarely become a persistent operational record teams can compare over time.

The Solution

A new layer of intelligence beneath the surface

AquatIQ combines autonomous vessels, underwater robotics, onboard AI, and persistent cloud intelligence into one repeatable marine sensing system.

Autonomous surface vessels (USVs)

Mission-ready base stations that navigate, coordinate assets, and maintain a persistent operating loop.

Underwater drones (ROVs/AUVs)

Subsurface assets that capture sonar, terrain, and object data where human access is limited or unsafe.

Continuous scanning and repeat mapping

Build a consistent historical record instead of disconnected inspections and one-off surveys.

AI-powered anomaly detection

Flag drift, changes, hazards, and anomalies as they emerge instead of after manual review.

Real-time and historical insights

Turn each mission into a clearer operational picture and a deeper long-term intelligence layer.

System Flow

From mission plan to operational understanding

AquatIQ turns the mission sequence into a clear autonomous operating loop: deploy, scan, process, decide, persist, and learn.

Mission Start

Operator Input

User selects area and scan path

Mission planning defines the target waterway, scan geometry, and autonomy envelope before deployment begins.

  • Area of interest selected
  • Scan path and waypoint sequence defined
Surface VesselAutonomous mission execution begins

Mobile Base Station

USV navigates to the survey area

The surface vessel establishes the operating footprint, coordinates deployed assets, and acts as the mission nerve center.

  • Navigates to target area
  • Maintains command and communications link
  • Supports deployment, recovery, and recharge
Deploy From USVOptional aerial coverage + subsea data capture

Optional

Deploy aerial drone

Aerial support expands visibility above the waterline and strengthens connectivity across the mission area.

  • Provides live video
  • Acts as signal relay
  • Monitors environment

Primary Survey Asset

Deploy underwater drone (AUV / ROV)

The underwater vehicle scans the seafloor, captures terrain information, and identifies objects below the surface.

  • Performs sonar scan
  • Captures seafloor data
  • Maps terrain and detects objects
USV Edge ProcessingBoth mission streams return to the vessel

Onboard Intelligence

AI processes data at the edge

The USV fuses incoming mission data to keep detection, mapping, and decisioning close to the operating environment.

  • AI detection
  • Mapping
  • Anomaly flagging
Mission LoopAutonomy decides whether to recover or continue

Decision

If battery low

Vehicle state determines whether the system recovers for recharge or keeps advancing through the mission plan.

  • Evaluate power state
  • Assess next waypoint feasibility

Recovery Path

Return, dock, recharge, relaunch

Assets autonomously return to the USV, recover power, and either relaunch or swap to keep the mission moving.

  • Return to USV
  • Auto dock
  • Recharge
  • Relaunch or swap unit

Active Path

Continue scanning next waypoint

If conditions and power remain within range, the mission continues without interrupting survey coverage.

  • Advance to next waypoint
  • Repeat scan loop
Mission CloseoutOperational record moves from field system to cloud

End State

Mission complete

The mission resolves with a packaged survey record, asset status, and finalized outputs ready for post-processing.

  • Survey path completed
  • Field mission packaged

Persistence

Upload data to cloud

Mission outputs sync into the long-term intelligence layer so every run improves the historical model.

  • Store survey assets
  • Update historical record
Final Output

Operator Surface

Dashboard

Users move from raw mission data to operational understanding through a persistent intelligence interface.

  • Maps
  • Alerts
  • Reports
  • Change detection

Use Cases

Built for high-value water operations

AquatIQ fits wherever conditions below the surface matter operationally, environmentally, or economically.

Oil & Gas

Pipeline monitoring, leak detection, subsea inspection

Environmental

Water quality, sediment tracking, ecosystem monitoring

Agriculture

Irrigation mapping, pond health, drainage analysis

Ports & Marinas

Debris detection, bottom mapping, safety monitoring

Vision

Mapping the unseen

AquatIQ is building a distributed network of autonomous systems to map and monitor the world's water, turning the ocean floor into a living, intelligent dataset.
