LSTS Systems
LAUV - Light Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
The LAUV is a Light Autonomous Underwater Vehicle targeted at innovative standalone or networked operations for cost-effective oceanographic, hydrographic and security and surveillance surveys. A robust and reliable vehicle for oceanographic upper water-column or bathymetric measurements, the vehicle can operate for more than 24 hours at a maximum speed over ground of 6 Knots. It comes with a host of sensors suitable for specific oceanographic or security applications and is now built and marketed by OceanScan MST in Porto.

X8 Flying Wing
The X8 Skywalker is a low-cost COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) vehicle, modified at LSTS, which allows for quickly deployable monitoring and surveillance missions. It's a vehicle perfected for low altitude reconnaissance scenarios, with live video feed, and for remote sensing scenarios. The vehicle controller has been modified to work with the LSTS networked toolchain for advanced concepts in ocean science and engineering.
