Overview

Unmanned scout vessel for tuna fleets

TF-100 is an all-in-one platform for the air, the surface and the water column. It spots fish signals from the air and assesses the school with its underwater sensors. It is designed and built in Kaohsiung by the team that operates it, and leased by the month with the vessel, drone, sensors, remote operations and maintenance included.

Key features

TF-100

  • Tethered drone

    Lifts off from a hangar on deck, climbs up to 100 m and streams live video to the bridge.

  • Fish-finding echosounder

    Assesses the school below the surface while the drone looks from above.

  • Fully autonomous

    Plans its own route, keeps clear of obstacles and holds position. Survey lines run on their own since October 2026.

  • Operated for you

    Hyarks operators run it at sea and from shore; your fleet follows it live in Hyarks Portal.

In the air

A drone on a tether, 100 m above the sea

TF-100 carries its own tethered drone. It lifts off from a hangar on deck, climbs up to 100 m, streams live video to the bridge and lands back on board.

Autonomy

Fully autonomous, from the keel up

Hyarks’ team built the whole stack from the ground up, in record time: no subcontractors, no licensed autopilot. All six layers, from machinery and power up to the AI agent, are our own work and run as one system.
