Klein Marine Systems Introduces MANTIS UUV with SmartArray Technology™ for Autonomous Underwater Missions - Ocean News & Technology

Klein Marine Systems Introduces MANTIS UUV with SmartArray Technology™ for Autonomous Underwater Missions - Ocean News & Technology. The signal here is continued momentum around operational autonomy at sea: perception, endurance, reliability, and the boring-but-critical integration work that turns prototypes into field tools.

José angle: this is close to OceanScan territory — autonomy, mission robustness, operator tooling, data products, and how underwater systems become dependable enough for real work.
