Porter AUV

Endurance & Range
With over 45 days of submerged endurance and a 5,000 km range, powered by a hydrogen fuel cell air-independent propulsion system, the Porter offers unparalleled mission duration and operational flexibility, enabling extended deployments and exploration of vast underwater areas.

Payload & Configuration
Porter’s modular payload bays, each with a 2,500-liter capacity, offer flexible configuration options for various missions. The adaptive mission planning interface enables real-time adjustments, while the retractable communications mast facilitates data transmission and control.

Logistics & Maneuverability
Porter’s design fits in a 40m ISO container for easy deployment. Covert launch capabilities from shore or ship enhance operational flexibility. Its 8-knot speed, redundant propellers, and hovering capabilities provide exceptional maneuverability and precise station-keeping.
Porter AUV Payload Delivery
The Porter AUV is equipped with a spacious payload bay, designed to carry various cargo, including equipment for the installation and replenishment of remote subsea power stations. These subsea power stations allow in-field assets and resident vehicles to operate continuously without the need for refueling onshore or resurfacing, thereby enhancing operational uptime and reducing costs by minimizing dependence on resupply vessels.
About Porter AUV

Performance Highlights
Capable of swimming from shore, Porter can conduct up to 45 days of operations, covering 5,000 line kilometers of survey in a single dive, increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs.

Payload Options
Porter has typical geophysical sensors and offers 5,000 liters of payload space. It also accommodates custom skids and deploys off-platform payloads, such as small AUVs, nodes, and an ROV.

Adaptive Autonomy
Porter operates autonomously for 45 days, reducing routine supervision. Using standard interfaces, Porter can be integrated with third-party autonomy packages for mission-specific tasks.
