Carbon Medusa
Our mission is to democratize access to marine data by dramatically lowering the cost and complexity of ocean observation.
We are a marine technology startup offering high-resolution, low-cost bathymetric mapping using autonomous surface drones.
We help ports, municipalities, and coastal stakeholders access critical underwater data without the high costs of crewed vessels.
Bathymetric Mapping
What you get :
🌍 High-resolution bottom maps up to 50m depth
📡 RTK-corrected, geo-referenced data
🧾 Deliverables compatible with QGIS, Hydromagic, and other GIS tools
📋 Meets IHO Order 2 (non-certified) survey standards
How It Works:
1️⃣ Tell us your mapping needs.
2️⃣ We deploy & operate the USV. No need to train your team or manage logistics.
3️⃣ You get the data. We collect the data and deliver maps within days.
⚡ Much cheaper than traditional vessels
🕒 Rapid deployment and fast turnaround
🚚 Mobile team ready to operate anywhere in France
👷♂️ Inflatable support boat to ensure safe operations
💡 Why it's better :
We now offer fast-response multibeam bathymetry surveys using the Cerulean Surveyor 240-16 MBES (Multibeam Echosounder) mounted on our custom USV platform.
Perfect for :
Port & harbor authorities
Marinas and coastal managers
Environmental consultants
Municipalities with dredging or development needs
Our Platform — BlueBoat USV, Enhanced by Carbon Medusa
Upgrades include :
✅ RTK GNSS – Unlock precise positioning (3cm).
✅ Multibeam Sonar – Enables high-end bathymetric data.
✅ CTD Profiler – Allows for sound velocity profile corrections for enhanced sonar data.
✅ Radio and Starlink Satellite Connectivity – Real-time data transmission and remote supervision.
✅ Solar Panels – Increased endurance for long duration missions.
✅ Self-Righting Motor –Anti-capsize motor mount and robust ocean-ready design.
Can be deployed by one operator from shore or dock, enabling quick response anywhere in France.
We’ve taken the affordable Blue Boat Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) and supercharged it for real-world conditions
Metocean Buoy Deployment
Simple rental pricing :
One time deployment fee then Weekly/Monthly rate
We also offer Sofar Spotter buoy rentals for real-time wave, wind, and ocean condition monitoring.
How it works :
1️⃣ Rent the buoy from us
2️⃣ We handle everything : deployment, mooring, maintenance and retrieval. No need to train your team or manage logistics.
3️⃣ Access live data through an online dashboard
🔭 Coming Soon : Environmental Monitoring
We’re expanding into marine environmental monitoring with future capabilities including :
🎣 CTD profiling (conductivity, temperature, depth)
📈 Turbidity, oxygen, chlorophyll tracking
🔬 Water sample collection
