Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Cathx Ocean’s Hunter imaging system delivers imaging and laser technology to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). We are innovative leaders in subsea imaging and measurement solutions. Our technological capabilities, combined with the rich data collected by our systems, provide the elements necessary for reliable and robust subsea survey and search applications.

Purpose-built for automated operation, our Hunter imaging systems deliver ease of integration for AUV manufacturers and one-off builders. We have many years’ experience integrating with Kongsburg HUGIN, ISE Explorer, Bluefin 21, SAAB Sabertooth, Teledyne Gavia SeaRaptor and ECA Robotics A18 AUVs.

Manual intervention is significantly reduced through independent control modes, intelligent image collection and automated image and data checking. Automation is supported by range-based focus control; sensor inputs; external autonomous control and autonomous mode selection, along with real-time laser and image quality assessment.
