Ocean Tech, Thistle House, 4 Burnaby Street, Hamilton HM 11 Registered in Bermuda not-for-profit company No. 52233 Bermuda Registered Charitable Organization No: 980 16 Cerulean – REMUS 100 overview Developed as a two man-portable, yet operationally flexible AUV, the REMUS 100 system has become the industry leader since its debut in 2001. The REMUS 100 system has demonstrated capabilities, which are pertinent to marine research, hydrographic, offshore/energy, and military applications. It is ideal for coastal hydrographic survey and target localisation missions while requiring minimal infrastructure to support and operate. The REMUS 100 AUV system was designed as a small, lightweight, low-cost, easy to use and highly accurate system for research tasks in coastal waters, reaching depths of up to 100 meters. The 100- meter rating of the vehicle has an additional safety factor of 15% to ensure safe operation at maximum depth. The vehicle also has a built-in capability to adapt automatically should the vehicle try to exceed the depth rating for any reason during a mission. The vehicle’s compact size requires minimal infrastructure for support and operation, meaning two people can deploy and operate the vehicle. The vehicle and support equipment fits in two custom designed transit cases for easy shipping and handling. Despite its small size, the REMUS 100 contains enough sophisticated sensor, navigation, and power resources to perform detailed sonar and oceanographic surveys over huge areas. The baseline REMUS 100 AUV system provides sufficient reserve volume, payload and power to support a variety of standard or custom sensors, and it can be easily configured to meet unique mission requirements, including the addition of environmental, communications, navigation and imaging sensors. The modular design of the REMUS 100 vehicle allows it to be set up as operational demands require. It can be equipped with a wide variety of sensor packages to suit the needs of just about any user; operators can simply change sensors via the use of v-band clamps located in the payloads section of the vehicle. The remaining housing sections of the vehicle from the tail to the ADCP/DVL module is sealed to protect the propulsion system, main electronics chassis, batteries, and navigation from exposure to elements. A unique attribute of REMUS is its ability to visit the same study spot over and over again repeatedly. All the data REMUS collects is also timed stamped allowing the user to reference entire data sets from every sensor on the vehicle at the same time knowing it was recorded at the same precise location.
