Nauticus Robotics has secured a contract to perform an offshore archaeological survey for an undisclosed offshore wind project on the US East Coast.

The Texas-based ocean robotics company said on 23 April that mobilization is planned for early May, with offshore work expected to begin soon after. The company did not name the client or provide project details.

The contract covers a detailed subsea investigation to locate and record possible cultural and historical resources on the seabed.

Survey work will be carried out with Nauticus Robotics’ Comanche remotely operated vehicle systems. The operation will use dredges, sonar systems, and photogrammetry cameras to inspect, document, and analyze the site.

Steve Walsh, Vice President of Sales at Nauticus Robotics, said the contract shows rising demand for technology-led survey services that support offshore development while considering environmental and cultural responsibilities.
