The newly minted consortium kicked off the project and the new year with a meeting at partner NOC’s headquarters in Southampton. Through a series of informative sessions, we learned about the technical advancements partners have previously achieved of which we will be building on to innovate and trial new sensors on autonomous platforms, floats and racing yachts. We rolled up our sleeves for preliminary planning, discussing on how to best deliver TRICUSO’s ambitions, and we had the chance to tour NOC’s facilities and see Argo floats and autonomous platforms that will be used in TRICUSO.
