Phantom AUV and AUV Control System

Our expertise in providing Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, including our in-house designed Phantom modular AUV shown in the image above and AUV control systems for the control and communication of sub-surface vehicles, allows us to expand the capabilities of your vehicle. Through the simulation process (Dynautics product AUV Sim) we can advance the development process and increase the vehicle’s efficiency. Positioning can be achieved through ultrasound communication and/or dead reckoning.

Our experience in delivering Dynamic Positioning (DP) solutions allows us to provide you with pin-point station keeping, enabling you to focus on your mission.

AUV/ROV Autopilot

The AUV / ROV autopilot is based on the SPECTRE autopilot board and has been installed on submersible vehicles. The system is equally suited taking over any level of control in:

Manned submersibles, for example, a swimmer delivery vessel (SDV) and mini-submarine
Semi-submersible autonomous vehicles with/without physical data link to operator workstation
Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) with a physical data link to the operator workstation
AUVs / UUVs in contact with a support ship
Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) in contact with a support ship
Completely autonomous AUV / UUV operating ‘fire and forget’ missions. AUV/ROV/UUV autopilot offers heading, speed, track, attitude and depth/height control as well as Dynamic Positioning.
