ecoSUBµ5 Micro-AUV
4 kg, 500 m rated micro-AUV built to the cylinder rule for tube and autonomous launch, carrying a small science payload.
Description
The ecoSUBµ5 (Micro) is a 500 m rated micro autonomous underwater vehicle. It maintains the cylinder rule, with the antenna in line with the body, which suits it to tube launch and autonomous launch and recovery. It carries a small payload such as a CT sensor, fluorometer, sound velocity profiler or hydrophone, can carry an acoustic nano-modem to take part in underwater communication networks, and can dive in an almost vertical spiral for vertical profiling.
Key features
- Length 925 mm including antenna (body 660 mm), diameter 111 mm
- 4 kg in air with alkaline batteries
- 500 m depth rating
- 0.7 m/s speed, 20 km range, up to 8 hours endurance
