Bayonet will be at WODCON XXIV

Purpose-built for commercial dredging, construction, and nearshore operations.

Built to handle pounding seas.

Revolutionizing Coastal Operations for Dredging in Near Shore Environments.

Bayonet vehicles are autonomous underwater ground vehicles (AUGVs) designed to be the "go-to" solution when critical work needs to be done near shore. Their low profile and high stability allow them to operate effectively in surf zones with wave heights up to 6 feet, collecting data and executing tasks independent of sea state and weather — delivering more days on task and reducing operational downtime.

Bayonet AUGVs are trusted by commercial operators, scientists, and defense teams worldwide for their versatility, reliability, and performance in challenging coastal environments.

Can’t make the demo? Let’s meet at WODCON.

Bayonet team members David Pearson and Dillon Grady will be at Booth 503 throughout WODCON XXIV and would love to connect.
Use the link below to schedule a time to meet one-on-one and learn more about how Bayonet is redefining coastal robotics.

Features of Bayonet AUGVs

Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGV) are also known as Bayonet Surf Zone Crawlers. Operating from the sea floor to the dunes, Bayonet AUGVs travel through the harshest conditions where other systems cannot.

  • Available in 3 sizes

    Bayonet AUGVs are available in three sizes to support a wide range of coastal and nearshore operations — including commercial dredging and construction: Bayonet 150 for calmer sea conditions when weight is a factor; Bayonet 250 for heavier seas and payloads; Bayonet 350 for the harshest environments and most demanding missions.

  • Works in depths up to 100 meters

    Bayonet AUGVs operate effectively in depths up to 100 meters, in heavy surf (up to 6-foot waves), and on land — ideal for surveys, inspections, and monitoring associated with dredging and nearshore development projects.

  • Tool free assembly

    In field (or underwater) assembly does not require any tools. Watch the demo to observe the assembly process.

  • Autonomy and navigation

    Bayonet AUGVs can be fully autonomous, supervised, or controlled manually. Vehicles use Greensea IQ's highly accurate Inertial Navigation System (INS).

  • Supports thousands of sensors

    Built on OPENSEA, Greensea IQ’s open architecture robotics platform, Bayonet AUGVs are compatible with thousands of sensors. Payloads can include environmental, oceanographic, hydrographic, benthic, or project-specific sensors — supporting detailed surveys and data collection critical to commercial dredging and marine construction.

  • Duration and range

    Depending upon model, Bayonet AUGVs have a range of 4-8 nautical miles and hold a battery charge of 4-6 hours. Optimized for coastal surveys, pre- and post-dredging assessments, and marine project support.
