The BOSS Manta Ray is an autonomous underwater bionic vehicle the company has been developing since 2013 within the framework of the Bionic Observation and Survey System project.

BOSS is a joint research effort, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The goal is to create a powerful and flexible underwater exploration and monitoring system, particularly suitable to

access hard-to-reach or yet unexplored areas with its unique functional properties. Deployed in the target area for observation and survey,

the BOSS system is a self-coordinating swarm of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), all linked into a multimedia sensor network with latest communication and navigation technologies.

The AUV is the project's core innovation - engineered and built at EvoLogics,

the experimental bionic vehicle is modeled after a Manta ray and can move through the water by wing-like movements of its "pectoral fins".
