Stingray Geophysical, a new spin-out from QinetiQ, has been established to develop a commercial fibre optic seismic monitoring system which can be deployed permanently on the seabed to provide high quality data on hydrocarbon reservoirs. Such systems are designed to help oil companies to significantly increase the amount of oil and gas extracted from reservoirs.
Stingray Geophysical has secured £6.6 million capital from a venture capital consortium led by Energy Ventures and including Hydro Technology Ventures and Chevron Technology Ventures. The company has been founded by a team which blends venture building experience with oil and gas industry know-how and world leading fibre optic expertise.

QinetiQ announces first flight trial for Zephyr
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle |
QinetiQ has completed the first flight trials of Zephyr - a High-Altitude, Long-Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HALE UAV).
Designed by QinetiQ, the ultra-light aircraft is solar-electric powered, autonomous and is designed to fly at altitudes in excess of 50,000 feet, above normal commercial air-lanes and most weather. The combination of solar panels on the upper wing surface and rechargeable batteries allows Zephyr to be flown for durations of many weeks and even months.
For military customers, it can play a major role in providing low cost battle-space awareness but it has also recently been selected as the platform for the Belgian Mercator HALE UAV system, a remote sensing demonstrator that will be used for mapping.
