The Boxfish AUV represents a cutting-edge, tether-free autonomous underwater vehicle designed for meticulous subsea tasks and data acquisition at depths reaching 600 meters. Its innovative design allows for effortless transitions between fully autonomous operation and tethered manual control, making it exceptionally suited for intricate mission requirements.

Featuring a resilient, fault-tolerant configuration with eight thrusters that provide six degrees of freedom and dynamic stabilization, this vehicle enhances maneuverability in tight underwater spaces. State-of-the-art navigation systems—including stereo cameras, Ultra-Short Base Line (USBL), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Doppler Velocity Log (DVL)—paired with proprietary autonomy algorithms ensure accurate and repeatable mission performance, even in challenging or unpredictable environments.

The Boxfish AUV boasts an expandable sensor payload capacity along with four available ports, facilitating seamless integration with sonar and environmental sensors. This versatility positions it as an invaluable asset for scientific exploration and ecological assessments. Its applications encompass coral reef studies, seabed photogrammetry, tracking of invasive species, and surveys of benthic habitats.

the Boxfish SafePath Planner simplifies mission configuration through an intuitive graphical interface, while the Commander software offers real-time telemetry and extensive post-mission analysis. Powered by a lithium-polymer battery system, the AUV can sustain dives for up to 10 hours, with swift recharge capabilities allowing for consecutive deployments.
