To address the specific demands of ocean science, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their associated equipment can be tailored to create a sophisticated technological system designed to support marine research. A diverse array of UAVs, each with unique payload capacities and operational ranges, along with a variety of specialized onboard equipment, have been engineered. These UAVs are capable of autonomously conducting high-precision operations within the intricate marine environment, enabling tasks such as time-series sampling and environmental monitoring. This capability significantly expedites the collection of primary data. The integration of this technical system represents a crucial component in fulfilling the most pressing needs of marine science, thereby greatly enhancing the field of marine scientific research.
