Fuel cells using hydrogen (H2) have great potential for powering unmanned systems, particularly autonomous marine vehicles. Due to the high energy density of these cells compared to traditional batteries, it enables unmanned systems to operate for longer periods.
Due to this unique property, these cells are more applicable where stealth action is crucial, such as defense or wildlife monitoring. The use of H2 fuel cells in marine systems is essential as the Kingdom is promoting recreational and water tourism. Furthermore, continuous inspection and maintenance of infrastructure in the offshore oil and gas industry require autonomous marine systems with high endurance. This technology aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Surface-Gator Modes are equipped with advanced sensors and payload capabilities, allowing for enhanced operational efficiency. With an impressive endurance of 2-3 hours, these modes can effectively gather data in various environments. This combination of technology ensures optimal performance for a range of applications.
