Introducing the ecoSUBµ5: A Compact Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
The ecoSUBµ5 stands as the most compact autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from ecoSUB Robotics, weighing a mere 4 kg in air and measuring 660 mm in length. This adaptable system is designed for easy transport by a single operator and can be deployed with minimal logistical requirements, needing only a laptop and a wireless internet connection to execute missions globally.Its streamlined cylindrical design allows for effortless launching from various platforms, including UAVs, USVs, and XLUUVs.
Efficient and versatile Operations
This budget-kind platform is perfectly suited for carrying lightweight payloads such as CT sensors, fluorometers, or hydrophones. It can dive to depths of 500 meters and sustain operations for up to 12 hours on a single battery charge. When outfitted with an acoustic nano-modem, multiple ecoSUBµ5 units can be interconnected for coordinated swarm missions.
