Science Solutions for AUVs

Cellula’s autonomous underwater platforms offer a variety of unique science solutions for AUVs. The long-range autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) provide extended endurance subsea by using our hydrogen fuel cell system. Cellula’s cableless seafloor nodes can collect marine data over long deployments with minimal infrastructure. Moreover, Cellula’s hovering AUVs enable vertical profiling with wireless docking and data transfer.

AUV Science Benefits

Low Carbon Footprint

Cellula’s zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell system provides endurance and range to facilitate port-to-port operations, removing the need for dedicated support vessels. This significantly increases operational efficiency and reduces the cost of deployment.

Custom Configuration

Cellula’s modular platforms can offer a variety of sensor suite options as well as energy solutions. Cellula’s strong engineering team collaborates with the client to provide an optimized solution.

Long Term Seabed Data Collection

Cellula’s long-range AUVs efficiently collect high-resolution seabed data over vast areas, minimizing human intervention and operational costs. They operate in challenging environments, enabling detailed scientific research on underwater geology, biodiversity, and ecosystem health with minimal environmental impact.

Applications

Offshore Survey

Geophysical Surveys: Cellula’s long-range AUVs enable long-duration, high-resolution data collection over vast and remote areas, reducing the need for costly ship mobilizations and enhancing the precision of geological assessments. With unparalleled endurance, Cellula’s AUVs can conduct deep-sea geotechnical investigations at sites far from shore, facilitating more comprehensive resource exploration and infrastructure planning.

Hydrographic Surveys: Cellula’s AUVs can conduct extensive bathymetric mapping and underwater topography surveys, improving the accuracy of navigation charts and coastal planning with minimal operational downtime. Their ability to cover large expanses of the ocean with high precision allows for cost-effective, continuous hydrographic data acquisition, especially in remote or poorly charted regions.

Environmental Surveys: Envoy and Porter AUVs can cover large marine ecosystems, providing real-time environmental monitoring for prolonged periods while minimizing human interference and operational costs. These AUVs are ideal for establishing baselines and tracking the health of ecosystems, such as coral reefs and deep-sea habitats, by collecting consistent, long-term data from hard-to-reach areas, supporting effective conservation efforts.
