survey system. Utilising the benefits of autonomous vehicles on the surface and underwater to make a step 

change in operational cost and safety. ASV's autonomous surface vehicle C-Enduro will provide navigational 

updates and mission planning to NOC's Autosub Long Range autonomous underwater vehicle which will be 

using Sonardyne Solstice sidescan sonar to inspect subsea pipelines. This project will utilise stakeholder 

engagement to develop a clear project plan to provide a commercial system to provide autonomous survey 

capabilities and with realtime detection and notification of suspected issues for further investigation.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
