Segal Research
Mobile ocean-research platforms. Sensor-dense vessels that survey, sample, and stream data from the surface to the deep — dynamically positioned over a site for weeks, with wet labs and ROV bays aboard.
A laboratory that holds station.
A research vessel's value is dwell: how long it can hold station over a site and how much it can sense while it's there. Crew rotations and fuel windows usually set the limit. Dynamic positioning and a deep power budget move it.
Sounding carries two labs, a depth-rated moonpool, and the full sensor mast on one hull — a laboratory that holds station, streaming seabed and water-column data for weeks rather than days.
Survey → Model → Fabricate → Launch → Operate.
The shared spine, framed for this theater. Same discipline, different boundary conditions.
Map the survey site and the seabed; size the station-keeping the science demands.
Model the sensor and lab loadout against power budget and working depth — to 6,000m.
Fabricate wet labs, dry labs, and the moonpool ROV bay as standard sections.
Splash and transit to the grid; Helm Core holds station over the site to tolerance.
Stream data for multi-week deployments; launch and recover ROVs and AUVs on station.
