ecoSUBm5 Small-AUV
500 m rated, one-person portable small AUV with more payload space and power, supporting side scan sonar, DVL, cameras and science sensors.
Description
The ecoSUBm5 (Milli) is a 500 m rated small AUV offering more payload space and power than the Micro class; its design was led by BP International. The propeller and rudder are driven through magnetic couplings, so there are no rotating shaft seals. It runs on primary alkaline or rechargeable NiMH batteries and communicates by Iridium SBD and Wi-Fi at the surface, with optional acoustic and USBL communication when submerged.
Key features
- Length 1000 mm (payload dependent), diameter 146 mm
- 12 kg in air with alkaline batteries
- 500 m depth rating
- 1 m/s speed, 65 km range, up to 18 hours endurance
- Magnetic couplings for propeller and rudder; no rotating shaft seals
- Payloads include Marine Sonic Sea Scan ARC Scout Mk II side scan sonar, Nortek Nucleus1000 and Water Linked A-50 DVLs, GoPro camera, Valeport, Aanderaa and Seabird sensors
Applications
- Oceanography and seabed survey
- Leak detection
- ASW, MCM and port security
