ROVLATIS A smart multi-mode vehicle
Reducing survey times and increasing the quality
of survey data capture
Higher Levels of Operational Flexibility Operates
as Surface tow, thrusted pontoon or submersible
survey class ROV/AUV Deployable from small
inshore boats as well as larger
vessels High-resolution seabed survey from beach
to the edge of continental shelf
Special Features Fault-tolerant thruster
control High-frequency short range
sonar Automatic vehicle stabilisation to cancel
the effects of currents and waves Topside
augmented reality system support
Innovative Approach Modular architecture for 3rd
party payload inter-operability and
expansion Advanced mission support augmented
reality tools and pilot/surveyor training
simulators Host platform for proving new marine
technologies and for commercial surveys
Customer Benefits Significant reductions in
survey duration and overall cost as multi-beam
and side-scan data are acquired
simultaneously Improved survey planning and
execution with optimised ground coverage On the
fly generation of the Digital Terrain Model
allows swath survey coverage to be optimised and
enables auto-heading velocity control of vehicle
for the survey Co-registration of side-scan and
multi-beam guaranteed navigation uncertainties
are common to both data sets.
