Although his christening Mar will be in six months, but already has a name. It is called The Ombudsman and is the first ship drone (unmanned) design, engineering and construction hundred percent Galician shipyard in the provinces of Pontevedra and Lugo.

This is a project Sea ship, company based in Lugo, created jointly between Galicia and Aeronautical Engineering Breoghan for the development of the ship, which just arrived from Homsec (international exhibition of technologies for homeland security) with several purchase proposals under his arm.

Andrés Rodríguez, President of Breogán Engineering, explains that it is an autonomous vessel of 7.75 meters long and 2.8 wide, with three settings: Task observation and monitoring of maritime zones;

"We're small, but talented," said Andrés Rodríguez, which relies on good market uptake of El Defensor, a project that is financed with equity only, without any public assistance.

How does a drone ship works ?. “Operations are performed from a ground control station which is housed in a separate container energy. That allows it to be transported both ships, aircraft or land, which increases their chances of Use”Explains the engineer.

The Ombudsman, Undoubtedly places Galicia at the forefront of the development of unmanned craft, a technological bet that the European Union promotes decisively. For it is funding a study of 3.5 million euros No Manned called Maritime Navigation. The project includes the construction of a prototype for sea trials simulated for the purpose of evaluating costs and benefits.
