Title:
BC Fast Pilot Project - Bathymetric Survey of Okanagan Lake using Solar Powered Autonomous Boat
Agreement Number:
936898
Agreement Value:
$91,600.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 4, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
This project will entail the production of two solar powered autonomous boats, Data Xplorer, equipped with equipment to conduct a bathymetric survey meeting the standards of the International Hydrographic Organization. The vessels will conduct an autonomous survey of Okanagan Lake to create bathymetric survey charts for boaters to safely use the lake and provide the Canadian Coast Guard with key information for placement of navigational aids. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of using a zero-emission autonomous vessel for work that is typically done using a crewed boat, which has advantageous of no GHG emissions, increased safety for crew, reduced cost and faster results.
