Join Our Team
Metron’s autonomy provides the core capabilities underlying our unmanned vehicle programs. Our autonomy combines advanced behaviors with innovative sensing and logic to support the most challenging of missions, including operations in dynamic environments where unanticipated events are likely, extended duration missions, and missions with multiple goals.
Autonomy
Autonomous vehicles function in environments where they must operate and adapt to a variety of dynamic situations, without human controllers. Developing the capabilities that enable these systems to adapt and make appropriate decisions is crucial for oceanic operations, such as search, exploration, and infrastructure inspection, and intervention missions.
