3D at Depth Continues Expansion of Marine Robotics Solutions

Neil Manning, Chief Operating Officer, stated, “Our fully integrated marine robotics solution allows us to not only expand our service offering but also continue to offer high data quality from the SL4 Subsea LiDAR and other geophysical, electromagnetic measurement and inspection sensors used across the marine energy and inland energy generation facilities. We have developed the new service delivery and application by evolving the trusted and highly stable hovering unmanned 3000m deep-water dual-hull SAAB Sabertooth Underwater System. The system design has then been modified to enable greater endurance and more diverse sensor payload integration, meaning both greater in water operational time and higher data capture accuracy for our clients. Our innovation has been heavily influenced from years of marine design and operational experience to unlock an operationally unique platform with incredible agility. The result is a highly adaptive work platform that greatly reduces the on-deck turnaround time due to a modular power solution. The increased endurance of up to 30 hours (depending on the mission requirements) exceeds all market comparable solutions currently operating in the marine AUV/UUV market. Cuvier DEEP is supported by impressive communication options including fully untethered supervised autonomy. Small fiber optic or powered cabled solutions means the system is configurable to meet all asset integrity work scopes covering deepwater offshore energy.

The name Cuvier DEEP is inspired jointly by George Cuvier (1769-1832) and the Cuvier beaked whale. French-born academic Cuvier had many attributes and studies during his career, with one particular focus on him establishing proof that many species like dinosaurs had become extinct in ages past. Cuvier therefore proposed, that after each series of major ecological events, new species had been created.
