Holyrood Marine Base: The Launch
AOSL, founded in 2010 by Dr. Ralph Bachmayer and Dr. Brad DeYoung, specializes in developing autonomous marine systems for various applications, including iceberg measurement, marine mammal noise detection, and collision risk assessment for shipping.
The Autonomous Ocean Systems Laboratory (AOSL) was established in 2010 by Dr. Ralph Bachmayer and Dr. Brad DeYoung. Over the years, the laboratory has been at the forefront of developing and advancing autonomous marine systems for a range of applications. One notable creation was the Sea Dragon, an autonomous semi-submersible vehicle designed specifically for measuring both subsurface and above-water surface features of icebergs. Building upon the knowledge gained from the Sea Dragon project, the laboratory developed SeaDuck, a unique vehicle capable of surface and sub-surface operations.
