Project EVA

Project EVA is an ultra long-range wind powered Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) capable of extended mission times in the most extreme naval conditions. Spanning under 2.4 metres fully assembled, EVA provides ample space for payload and instrumentation, while its modular design allows it to be packed for easy transportation and immediate deployment from any part of the world. As a proof of concept, the vessel will compete in the Microtransat Challenge in an attempt to be the first ever team to cross the Atlantic Ocean fully autonomously.

A Growing Market

This project is entering the rapidly growing market for autonomous ships, valued at approximately **$88 billion in 2020**. This is due to the multitude of applications this technology could have, including:

Weather forecasting and earthquake detection
Aquaculture monitoring and guarding fishing territories
Extreme environmental research
Environmental monitoring and marine research
Mapping the ocean floor
Waste collection
Anti-submarine warfare and defence </aside>

The market is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of $150 billion by 2030. The UK could potentially capture around 10% of this market share. Project EVA will not only showcase the potential of fully autonomous vessels, but contribute to the innovations driving this industry forward.
