Marine Autonomous Systems in Support of Marine Observations (MASSMO)

The project ended in 2019; its website is no longer available.

MASSMO was a multi-partner series of trials and demonstrator missions to explore the UK seas using a fleet of innovative marine robots. Newly developed unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and submarine gliders were trialled and provided valuable insight into UK seas and the marine life they support, gathering environmental data, and feeding back vital information on how the different vehicles perform separately and together in preparation for future scientific applications.
