OceanServer Completes AUV Delivery

hydro-international - 

OceanServer Technology (OTI) recently delivered two lightweight multibeam sonar-equipped AUVs to the Navy Special Warfare (NSW) Command. These AUVs were competitively procured and operationally tested prior to delivery to the NSW Command at the Stennis Space Center in September 2010. Additionally the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has contracted with OTI for a third vehicle to be delivered in December 2011.

This is the fifth such award to OceanServer Technology over the past three years and represents the most sophisticated vehicle developed by OTI to date.

The man-portable lightweight Iver is equipped with side-scan sonar (SSS), doppler velocity log (DVL), acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP), conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) sensor, and multibeam imaging sonar, is the industry leader in AUV systems. The NSW Command anticipates operationally deploying the vehicles early in CY 2012.
