Hydroid is a field-proven technology leader in advanced marine robotics, specifically autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The company designs and manufactures state-of-the-art solutions for several applications, including marine research, commercial and defence. Located in the U.S., Hydroid is a subsidiary of Kongsberg Maritime, the world’s most trusted manufacturer of AUVs. REMUS vehicles provide innovative and reliable full-picture solutions. Together, they represent the most advanced, diversified and field-proven family of AUVs and vehicle support systems in the world. Revolutionizing Undersea Exploration Ocean exploration has traditionally been dominated by surface ship technology. Hydroid's REMUS AUVs are changing that. Our AUVs can dive to depths of 6,000 meters, explore shallow waters and hover in hazardous areas where navigation is difficult. These vehicles reduce the high cost of ocean exploration and sampling while increasing the availability of marine scientific data. Our AUVs have been involved with undersea mine countermeasures that have helped save lives by eliminating human divers from mine fields and have helped solve plane and ship disaster mysteries, including locating Air France Flight 447 wreckage and generating 3D mapping of the Titanic. Our vehicles offer scientists a new view on pressing global issues, including climate change, the world’s declining fish population and environmental disasters. World-Class Engineering Developed by a veteran team of engineers, our company’s products and solutions provide a safe and reliable answer to the challenges that have hampered ocean exploration and security. We offer world-class engineering design and expert manufacturing in our new, state-of-the-art production facility. Hydroid is dedicated to revolutionizing marine robotics technology and advancing oceanography and undersea engineering.
