NOVACAVI Supports The POLARIS Project Developed By ETH Zurich
NOVACAVI is pleased to express its strong support for the POLARIS project, an innovative initiative led by ETH Zurich, one of the world’s leading universities for science and technology.
The POLARIS project involves the development of an advanced autonomous underwater vehicle designed for research applications in the fields of climate monitoring and security.
One of the project’s main objectives is the accurate, non-invasive measurement of ice thickness from below. As the special vehicle moves beneath the lake surface, it continuously collects data, generating a high-resolution dataset capable of mapping the spatial distribution of ice thickness.
This pioneering approach enables the collection of highly precise data without the need to drill through
the ice, thereby avoiding surface disturbance and significantly reducing risks for personnel operating in extreme environmental conditions.
Within this demanding operational context, NOVACAVI contributes to the project through the development of a neutrally buoyant cable, an integral component that ensures system reliability, enhances vehicle manoeuvrability, and supports
overall mission safety.
“We are proud to support ETH Zurich in this groundbreaking endeavour,” said Francesca Faverio, Business Development Manager of NOVACAVI, “The POLARIS project exemplifies the type of forward- thinking innovation that is essential to better understand and protect our environment, while ensuring safety and operational excellence in extreme conditions.”
