DataShark Design
The DataShark is the world’s first autonomous data harvesting surface vessel to be deployed commercially. Focussing on collecting and collating water quality health data from waterways in any environment the DataShark is capable of multiple sensor configurations (customer dependent), real time data logging with GPS tagging.

THE DATASHARK IN ACTION
DataShark in Action
This autonomous surface vessel is designed to be deployed with preset mission routes on your chosen waterbody. By selecting the DataSharks operating route and predetermining its path you are able to ensure that you cover the region you require data collection from. This can either be over grid pattern or your specific chosen route. RanMarine’a Data portal allows the data to be captured and reported in both graph and raw format for analysis.
