Subsea Warden
Subsea Warden Overview
The system features a digital hydrophone, a 3-axis self-compensating magnetometer, and STANAG 1136 compatibility. It offers encrypted data storage, autonomous operations, hovering control, wireless data transfer, inter-vehicle communication, and 8-hour endurance.
Underwater Signature Measurement System
A fleet of three Subsea Wardens assesses vessel underwater signatures in open ocean and littoral environments. Simultaneous measurements from the port, starboard, and under the keel provide comprehensive data. The system is designed for ease of operation within a 20-foot ISO container.
Subsea Warden Operations
The operator loads a pre-set scan path, deploys the drone fleet, and communicates the plan to the bridge. Drones autonomously configure, submerge, and collect data. Between vessel passes, drones transmit data. Upon recovery, data is downloaded and analyzed.
Enhance Your Operations with Subsea Warden
Subsea Warden is an open water hovering AUV for multi-influence marine vessel signature measurement. Operating as a fleet, the Subsea Warden AUVs provide simultaneous measurements for acoustic and magnetic signatures without leaving the station.
It is built on a modular core platform, using ROS over Ethernet to communicate between the navigation sensors, main computer, and payload modules.
About Subsea Warden
Performance Highlights
