Cellula Robotics Ltd. is collaborating with Ocean Floor Geophysics Ltd. (OFG) on a contract to measure and model the magnetic and electric signatures of a non-combatant training vessel provided by the Royal Canadian Navy. The results will be used to complement and extend current vessel signature measurement capabilities.

The data will be collected by OFG sensors integrated on Cellula’s Solus-LR AUV. In addition to sensor integration, Cellula will provide engineering services, a remote operations piloting control centre, and use of AUV support vessel Cellula Ranger for the field trials.

Solus-LR is a fuel cell powered long range AUV, capable of 2000km submerged missions. It is currently being built for Defence Research Development Canada under the All Domain Situational Awareness Science and Technology Program. For more information, visit our product page.

Since its inception Ocean Floor Geophysics (OFG) has consistently developed and operated innovative marine geophysical systems to provide new perspectives to their clients. OFG provides previously unavailable data acquisition and analysis services by integrating magnetic, EM, CSEM/MT, gravity, chemical, and hydrographic sensors and systems deployed on AUVs, ASV/USVs, ROVs and towed systems. For more information, visit their website.
