Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

The globalization has driven the expansion of offshore activities, including subsea pipelines and power cables. Efficient inspection solutions are now more critical than ever, as traditional inspection methods like ROV systems are weather dependent, costly and time consuming. In response, we are pioneering most advanced Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). 

Key advantages

Quickly and flexibly deployable in any weather and sea state

Long mission durations and ranges

Deep-sea capable

Analytics - AUV navigating under water

Autonomous precision

Our uncrewed vehicles are capable of navigating the globe without the need for a support vessel. They carry all kinds of sensor technology, allowing them to record data in the water column or above the seabed directly where you want to measure with constant resolution throughout the mission. Their on-board processing power enables real-time decision making without the need for human intervention. This makes them ideal for missions that require quick responses based on sensor measurements. 

The most versatile platform

Either if you are considering surveys of the seafloor, inspection missions of subsea assets like cables, pipelines, wrecks or the foundations offshore wind or other power platforms, our advanced AUVs offer you the most versatile platforms from shallow waters to the depths of the oceans.

New class of unmanned submersible robotic systems

The CIAM project (Cooperative Development of a Comprehensive Integrated Autonomous Underwater Monitoring Solution) aims to address a major issue with AUVs: the need for large, costly support vessels and the high risks of launching and recovering AUVs. Additionally, the availability of skilled personnel and suitable vessels has been a challenge, especially in emergencies. Maritime applications require global presence and flexible systems deployable in any weather and sea state, ideally with air cargo capability.

Building measurement technologies

The submersible robot of the "Mare-IT Project" demonstrates advanced autonomy, operating independently at depths over a thousand meters. Designed for long-term underwater inspection and repair of structures like pipelines and wind turbines using AI, the AUV features four high-tech sensors and a communication buoy for data transmission to the surface.
