Description: Harbor Wing Technologies, Inc. has developed a prototype wind-powered autonomous, unmanned surface vessel (AUSV) for military, government and non-military ocean-going applications. Harbor Wing’s advances in computer and robotic technology, combined with its proprietary WingSail design have opened up new opportunities in autonomous software-controlled vessel systems that harness the power of the wind as never before. Outfitted with a hard wing airfoil sail (WingSail), the vessel offers outstanding performance, maneuverability and precise course and station-keeping. Harbor Wing is working to deliver this technology to meet rapidly-expanding needs for surveillance, environmental monitoring, marine asset security commercial wind assist and recreational WingSail applications.
