Engineering, Design and Prototype Development

OSI has supported the ocean and offshore industries with marine engineering and design services for nearly two decades. We work with commercial, government and defense clients to deliver some of the most innovative systems and turnkey solutions for at-sea deployment.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Ocean Systems, Inc. (AOS), Ocean Specialists, Inc  (OSI) has direct access to the skill sets, capabilities, resources and infrastructure of our affiliate companies, SeaRobotics Corp. (SRC) and Okeanus Science and Technology (OST). SRC specializes in the design, development, and engineering of unmanned marine systems (UMS), providing intelligent marine robotics solutions for a range of applications. OST designs and manufactures advanced deck handling equipment, including fully integrated launch and recovery systems (LARS), winches and pressure vessels. OST also offers full-service design and fabrication services supported by in-house installation and testing capabilities.

OceanHub Subsea Node

Developed to provide power and communications for long-term, in-situ observations, OceanHub is a subsea data hub that enables common oceanographic sensors to be connected to a submarine cable.

SMART Cables will enable transformative advancements in Tsunami and Earthquake Early Warning monitoring, global climate monitoring, and network integrity along the entire network length, providing substantial societal benefits through enhanced protection of life, property, and global telecommunications infrastructure.

CONSTANT VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY

OSI develops specialized subsea engineering components and assemblies to address the specific needs of projects that we have worked on. One such example is our Constant Voltage Power Feed Equipment (CV PFE), used to provide a constant voltage power supply to subsea cabled sensor systems. This may be used alongside a constant current power supply and dual conductor cable to permit both telecommunications and sensor systems to use common cable infrastructure.

Subsea Data Systems (SDS)

Subsea Data Systems, Inc., a partnership between Ocean Specialists, Inc  (OSI) and Samara Data, is providing SMART Cable hardware, software, and data management solutions. SMART (Sensor Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications) Cables are submarine telecommunications cables equipped with sensor packages inside their repeaters (amplifiers).

SMART Cables will enable transformative advancements in Tsunami and Earthquake Early Warning monitoring, global climate monitoring, and network integrity along the entire network length, providing substantial societal benefits through enhanced protection of life, property, and global telecommunications infrastructure.

Sea2Sat (S2S)

Ocean Specialists, Inc’s  Advanced Subsea to Satellite (S2S) Network buoy system. Underwater data capture and data transmission system configured for moored applications where the recorded data is collected by a submersible buoy which cycles periodically from a transmission state with low surface expression to a safe, tamper resistant  submerged state. The Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) is scalable to client needs.

The S2S variable buoyancy buoy can support a variety of Defense and Commercial applications, including high value marine and seafloor asset and cable protection.

The S2S variable Buoyancy Buoy offers:

  • On demand data connectivity
  • Active system monitoring and quality control
  • Wireless acoustic or tethered connections
  • Easily expandable and configurable
  • Wide range of metocean, acoustic and sensor data feed
  • Real-time system monitoring
  • Secure data recovery and processing
  • System security and alarms
  • Secure, cloud-based portal – controlled access layers
  • Real-time and static data
  • Full documentation access
  • ARC-GIS georeferenced elements
  • AIS geofencing protection
