Testing Facilities
On-water testing is supported by our onsite engineers, who are experienced designers and developers of marine systems. All vessels are captained by licensed mariners.
The testing facility includes a design office for engineering services and a 4,000-square-foot high-bay warehouse for fabrication, assembly, and secure storage. The facility is on the grounds of Point View Marina, which provides dockage for vessels up to 100 feet in length and hauling for vessels up to 70 tons, with 24 feet of beam.
In addition to a full engineering staff, we have in-house technicians and tooling to fabricate, wire, build, and integrate prototypes for rapid development and testing cycles.
