Focus Area:

Underwater Vehicle

Social Benefits:

Modular streamline structure helps to integrate additional payloads with very less efforts with reasonably lesser drag without changing the original configuration; It is stable against roll motion making it suitable for the sea-bed mapping application in addition to relevant scientific data collection; Degrees of Freedom (DOF) have been reduced from six to five through mechanical design, thereby balancing the roll motion of the system and reducing control complexity; Design for slight positive buoyancy for better diving control and safety i.e., prevention of AUV getting lost on the sea due to any malfunctioning. Controllability of a system with large dimensions (Length 4.9 m., Diameter: 0.5 m.) Dual communication including both RF and Acoustic communication; Emergency handling with power management and leak detection subsystems; Single ground reference point (SGRP) for electrical Isolation and Grounding of the complex AUV system; Capable of autonomous navigation through and pre-defined trajectory.
