Imotus-S Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Overview

Imotus-S is an open water hovering AUV for multi-influence marine vessel signature measurement. Operating as a fleet, the Imotus-S AUVs provide simultaneous measurements for acoustic and magnetic signatures without leaving station. 

Imotus-S is built on a modular core platform, using ROS over Ethernet to communicate between the navigation sensors, main computer and payload modules.


Signature Measurement Overview

Cellula’s Signature Measurement System consists of a team of three or more Imotus-S subsea drones that can rapidly create an acoustic & magnetic check range at any location without requiring cables, diver deployment, or maneuvering into shallow waters.

More information coming soon.

 

Benefits

Availability

Imotus-S can operate in open ocean or littoral waters to complete marine vessel signature measurements without requiring the ship to leave station. On-shore infrastructure or underwater cabled deployments are not required.

Inter-Operability

Imotus-S is designed to be stored, operated, and maintained in a 20' ISO container. No additional modifications to the ship are required, allowing for quick adoption of added functionality.
 

Security

Signature measurement data is stored in an encrypted format on Imotus-S, only made accessible to the host platform. Detailed reports are provided to the end user including the acoustic & magnetic measurements and scan profiles.
