(May 5, 2026) — Woolpert is conducting its first fully uncrewed offshore hydrographic survey mission for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, deploying multiple uncrewed survey vessels designed and piloted by Chance Maritime, and equipped with Woolpert’s multibeam sonar to map deep-sea corals and ocean habitats off the coast of Pensacola, Florida.  Woolpert will collect 1,391 square nautical miles of high-resolution hydrographic survey data to explore deep-sea corals and other sensitive marine habitats, identify seafloor hazards, detect changes to the underwater environment, and update NOAA’s nautical charting products […]
- [Woods Hole Group and Chance Maritime Complete Landmark 38 Day USV FAST Eddy Survey](https://chancemaritime.com/woods-hole-group-and-chance-maritime-complete-landmark-38-day-usv-fast-eddy-survey/): Fully unmanned diesel-powered offshore operation without human intervention, refueling, or support vessels LAFAYETTE, LA, USA (Jan. 12, 2026) – The Woods Hole Group and Chance Maritime Technologies have successfully completed an uninterrupted, 38-day, FAST Eddy Loop Current monitoring survey, 200nm offshore in the Gulf of America. This marks a record for diesel-powered, continuously cruising USV operations, transiting over 4,000 nautical miles nonstop. Woods Hole Group’s automated FAST Eddy ocean current monitoring system, comprising Teledyne 75 kHz and 300 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), was installed onto Chance Maritime’s Chance MC40 uncrewed surface vessel (USV). Chance Maritime also developed an […]
- [Chance Maritime 2025 Wrapped!](https://chancemaritime.com/chance-maritime-2025-wrapped/): It's been a massive year for us, accumulating a whopping 3,000 unmanned operational hours from the Gulf of America, across the east coast, and into the Great Lakes!
- [Chance Maritime’s MC40 USV Unleashed at Silent Swarm 25](https://chancemaritime.com/chance-maritimes-mc40-usv-unleashed-at-silent-swarm-25/): ALPENA, MI. (August 07, 2025) — Our Chance MC40, a long-endurance high-power USV, carried over 1,200 pounds of EW and ISR payloads into the exercise. At 40 foot long, the Chance MC40 was the largest USV carrying the heaviest payloads in Silent Swarm 25. We demonstrated how kilowatts of continuously delivered power could be leveraged for long dwell multi-payload ISR and EW missions. This power also enabled the Chance MC40 to host four Starlink systems simultaneously. Chance Maritime’s Clarity ISR suite was fully integrated with TAK to deliver a tactical common operating picture to the command center for the exercise. […]
- [USF COMIT and Chance Maritime Collect Data for Backscatter Calibration Sites](https://chancemaritime.com/usf-comit-and-chance-maritime-collect-data-for-backscatter-calibration-sites/): ST. PETERSBURG, Fl. (April 1, 2025) — The University of South Florida College of Marine Science’s Center for Ocean Mapping and Innovative Technologies (COMIT) collaborated with Chance Maritime Technologies to acquire data at three backscatter calibration sites off the coast of Tampa Bay, FL. Why Do We Need Backscatter Calibration Sites? Backscatter data is collected by sonars, showing the intensity of the sound signal returned by the seafloor. In this way we can map not just how deep the water is, but also understand the properties of the seafloor. These data are important for applications such as habitat mapping, physical […]
- [Woolpert, Chance Maritime Employ Autonomous Vessel and Team Collaboration to Efficiently Map Florida Seafloor](https://chancemaritime.com/woolpert-chance-maritime-employ-autonomous-vessel-and-team-collaboration-to-efficiently-map-florida-seafloor/): KEY WEST, Fla. (March 25, 2025) — Woolpert and Chance Maritime have partnered to leverage autonomous technology, geospatial expertise, and broad-based staffing to most efficiently collect hydrographic survey data in support of the Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative and other projects off the coast of Florida. Woolpert, a leading provider of lidar and sonar bathymetry and hydrographic survey data, was tasked by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to map the seafloor off the coast of Florida to advance coastal resilience and mitigate the impact of hurricanes and flood inundation as part of FSMI. Woolpert enlisted Chance Maritime to mobilize its […]

November 13, 2024 BATON ROUGE, LA – In an old quarry near Lafayette, La., an uncrewed boat is dropping a remote-controlled robot down to the bottom of a lakebed before retrieving it and returning to shore. If a passerby stumbled upon this scene, he or she might think it was something out of a spy movie. Instead, it’s a cutting-edge project that shows how advanced robotic systems can help monitor and protect marine environments, as well as inspect and maintain offshore infrastructure. Led by LSU Mechanical Engineering […]
