It’s a challenge that Lemvos Robotics offers help for. The company’s LM450 multirole USV supports sonar, ROV/AUV launch systems and UAV docking, enabling environmental monitoring, defense/security and seafloor mapping tasks. It operates remotely or semi‑autonomously via satellite or 5G, carries over 300 kg and can stay on mission for weeks.
For drug detection on ships hulls, it’s a lot faster to deploy that divers, says Lemvos co-founder Daniel Severinsen, so security services can be more proactive in checking suspicious targets.
