74% of the seafloor remains unmapped, and less than 35% of U.S. coastal waters have been mapped in detail. Defense, Energy, Infrastructure, and Research sectors lack high-resolution, real-time ocean data. Vannheim Systems partnered with Herbst to create a compelling visual story to explain their underwater topography scanning drone to both military and corporate investors. Starting with little more than screenshots of complex engineering diagrams, Herbst brought the modular submarine to life, complete with brand assets and animations.
"The need for scalable, mission-ready AUVs is undeniable" - Nicholas Johnson, Co-Founder & CEO
Herbst's task was to create an aspirational submarine drone design within the constraints of manufacturable reality. The modular extrusion provides internal part configuration optimization and a simple production strategy.
Icons are louder than words. Herbst built a precise and scalable brand language for Vannheim Systems from scratch, meeting communication needs for their pitch deck, web assets, and beyond.
Advanced AI processes vast undersea datasets to detect geological anomalies and unlock global situational awareness. The result is on-demand ocean data services for military, energy, critical mineral, infrastructure, and environmental customers.
