Vessel Control Systems (VCS)

USV, AUV Autopilot and Control Systems suitable for new or existing (OEM) designs.

We work with vessel designers and builders from the early stages in the design process and can also retrofit control systems into existing designs. We have a range of Autopilots and Vessel Control Systems (VCS) for all types of boats, ranging from Torqeedo or gas outboard motors to waterjet and hybrid designs. If you are designing or modifying an uncrewed vessel, we can offer off-the-shelf products or a configurable range of subsystems that will reduce your time to launch.

Description

Designing a USV - we have the control solutions...

Dyanutics specialise in working with OEMs and we supply a large range of customers (AutoNaut, HR Wallingford, CEE-Hydro Systems, HydroSurv, India, Singapore and Greek Navy and many more) with Vessel Control Systems.

Control systems can be as simple as autopilots (used as a remote control, partially crewed or autonomous) or complete Vessel Control Systems (VCS) which include autopilots, power management, communications and data logging.

We have expertise in interface technologies between our VCS and the vessel's propulsion systems (Torqeedo -control and interface unit- Mercury and other outboard engines, waterjet systems and hybrid designs).

This introductory virtual exhibition summarises some of our products.

Our goal is to make your mission a success - so we offer bespoke design services to vessel designers from <1m to >20m LOA, from survey vessels operating at 3-5 knots to security vessels travelling at 50 knots. Get in touch and tell us about your mission!
