Subsea Warden

Subsea Warden Overview

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

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

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

The system can operate independently or in a swarm, using relative positioning to enhance signature assessment and mission effectiveness, increasing overall system performance.

Payload Options

The system supports payloads including acoustic and magnetic measurement tools, non-destructive hull inspection, a lightweight manipulator, and extended subsea docking.

Easy to Deploy

The system is easily deployable via crane or davit, streamlining deployment and minimizing operational overhead. This allows rapid deployment in various marine environments.

Applications

Signature Measurement

Acoustic Signature Measurement: Analyze the acoustic signatures of vessels to identify targets.

Magnetic Signature Measurement: Detect and classify vessels based on their magnetic field.

Electromagnetic Signature Measurement: Monitor electromagnetic emissions from vessels to identify targets.
