HUGIN 3000 AUV - Autonomous underwater vehicle
|
Introduction
The HUGIN 3000 is an autonomous underwater sensor carrier taking high-resolution
sensors down to where they belong: just above the seabed.
Two operational modes
The autonomous underwater vehicle can be operated in either operator supervised
or autonomous mode down to an operating depth of 3000 meters. High speed and long
endurance makes this proven and groundbreaking technology extremely efficient.
Navigation system
HUGIN 3000 is equipped with an advanced Kalman-filter-based aided inertial navigation
system. The inertial navigation system calculates position, velocity and attitude
of the vehicle, based on vehicle acceleration and angular velocity measurements
data from an inertial measurement unit.
Autonomous underwater vehicle operator station
The Operator Station includes a monitor and an operator panel with interfaces
to payload operator stations and vessel mounted sensors like dGPS, HiPAP, ship attitude
sensor, acoustic link and RF link systems.
Customer benefits
