The Blackghost AUV is designed to undertake an underwater assault course autonomously with no outside control. Pluto Plus AUV for underwater mine identification and destruction. From Norwegian minehunter KNM Hinnøy. An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a robot that travels
Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE) was a pioneering autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) owned and operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. [1] ABE was designed to perform wide-area seabed surveys at depths of up to 4500 m (14,674 ft) and completed 222 missions from 1996 until it was lost at sea in ...
The first AUV was created in 1957 with the purpose of performing research in the Arctic Waters for the Applied Ph Laboratory at the University of Washington. [6] By the early 2000s, 10 different AUV had been developed such as screw driven AUVs, underwater gliders, and Bionic AUVs. [ 6 ]
A trial run of the project, dubbed EONIOS, is currently underway off Cyprus’ Ayia Napa marina. Scientists plan to place the artificial reefs in waters off Cyprus’ southern coastal town of Limassol at a depth of around 20 meters (66 feet) where sunlight can still reach the seabed.
Sentry is the successor to ABE (Autonomous Benthic Explorer) and is designed for research at the mid-water and near-seabed depths. [1] The AUV was first trialled in deep-sea operations off Bermuda in April 2006. [2] Sentry is 6 feet (1.8 m) feet in height, 7.2 feet (2.2 m) wide (including thrusters) and 9.5 feet (2.9 m) long.

Poseidon (Hai-Shen, 海神) series autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV)s belong to a very little known AUVs developed by CSIC [7] that merged with CSSC in November 2019, and the first model of this series is Poseidon 100–1. [17] [18] Specification: [17] [18] Length: 1.7 meter; Diameter: 0.18 meter; Weight: 70 kg; Speed: 5 kt; Endurance: 10 ...
It is used for intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), including covert operations in coastal areas, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) - hunting submarines in its own territory, acoustic reconnaissance (ACINT), covert mine detection and other mine countermeasures (Mine Counter Measures, MCM), support to special forces including reconnaissance and mine detectors ...
The SEA-KIT X-class USV, of which Maxlimer was the first, is a remotely controlled, configurable mother-ship platform that can launch and recover remote vehicles such as large AUV/UUVs or ROVs for missions including deep-water bathymetry, offshore and subsea asset inspection and hydrographic survey with reduced risk to personnel, decreased costs and lower environmental impact.
