*The PML Pioneer is a five-metre AutoNaut uncrewed surface vessel (USV), propelled by wave motion and powered by three hundred-watt solar panels. The integrated scientific payload is the most advanced to be deployed from an AutoNaut, with a range of state-of-the-art sensors that collect data autonomously as it self-navigates the ocean.
