Rolls Royce

Norway is creating an ambitious project that will create 1,700-metre long passageway underneath rocky peninsula for cruise and freight ships by 2023.

Rolls-Royce isn't limiting its robotic transportation plans to luxury cars, the British transportation firm has outlined a strategy for deploying remote-controlled autonomous cargo vessels.

Remote and autonomous operations, we are pushing the boundaries of ship technology in order to offer innovative commercial and technical solutions.

Rolls-Royce presents a vision of a future land-based control centre, known as the ‘oX’ operator experience concept, in which a small crew of 7 to 14 people monitor and control a fleet of remote controlled and autonomous vessels across the world.

Aircraft in flight anywhere in the world automatically report back via satellite to the Rolls-Royce Service Operations Room where our team looks at, compares and reports on half a billion engine data reports every year. The data is analysed, trends extrapolated, anomalies detected and, often unknown to the pilot, preparations are made at the arrival airport to take remedial action and send the aircraft on its next leg with no delays.
