from a vessel of opportunity and quickly reconfigurable to meet changing mission requirements.
SeaBotix ROVs, known for their reliable operation and small footprint, are used by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units of the U.S. Navy for a number of tasks that help keep military personnel out of harm’s way. Benthos manufactures a group of towed survey systems, including the Deep Tow for survey and search and recovery tasks at depths up to 6,000m.
Teledyne Webb Research launched the new G3 Slocum glider, offering better options for piloting, energy management and ballasting along with other improvements for long duration water column monitoring.
Teledyne Gavia released three new modules for the Gavia AUV; the Science Bay, which is a generic payload module that allows a user to add up
to six scientific sensors, a new side scan/ bathymetry sonar module and a new battery module with increased energy to extend mission duration.
Teledyne SeaBotix has improved its Smartflight SemiAutonomous Navigation package with the release of Smartflight 2.0, powered by Greensea and the integration of the new RD Instruments PathFinder DVL. This package offers improved low altitude hovering performance, station keeping, waypoint navigation and return to target autonomous functionality. It also provides visual integration of multiple sensors including Teledyne BlueView sonars, Teledyne Benthos USBL tracking capabilities and other third party sensors. For surface operations, Teledyne Oceanscience released its new Q-boat 1250, designed specifically for shallow water applications as a one-man portable remote vehicle that is easy to set up and operate, and accepts most industry standard ADCPs.
