VIDEO: Hydroid REMUS 600 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Capabilities

February 12, 2013

The REMUS 600 AUV was designed through funding from the Office of Naval Research to support the US Navy’s growing need for operations requiring extended endurance, increased payload capacity, and greater operating depth. The REMUS 600 AUV boasts the same proven software and electronic subsystems found in the highly successful REMUS 100 AUV, with a depth rating and increased capabilities that take autonomous operations to the next level.

REMUS 600 features:

GO DEEPER – The REMUS 600 has been designed to operate to depths of 600 meters, allowing for greatly increased operational scope. The highly versatile system can also be configured for 1500 meter operations.

GO FURTHER – The REMUS 600 delivers unprecedented endurance, with mission duration capability of up to 24 hours. Upon mission completion, simply recharge the internal battery, or swap out the battery section. (Endurance is subject to speed and sensor configuration).

FULLY MODULAR – The REMUS 600 has been designed with modularity in mind. The vehicle can be easily reconfigured for a wide variety of customer configured payloads. The vehicle is comprised of a series of hull sections that are quickly separated for vehicle reconfiguration, maintenance, and/or shipping.

INCREASED PAYLOAD – The REMUS 600 has been designed to be an autonomous workhorse. Its increased size and energy capacity enable it to carry large, power-hungry payloads to meet the increasing mission demands.

EASE OF OPERATION – The REMUS 600 incorporates the same proven Vehicle Interface Program (VIP) used in the complete family of REMUS vehicles. The highly refined VIP makes vehicle maintenance, checkout, mission planning, and data analysis fast and easy. Windows operation, quick look indicators, quality control checks, and a sophisticated data export capability all add to the user friendly nature of this software package.

PROVEN REMUS TECHNOLOGY – The REMUS 600 is based on the same leading edge technology that has brought the REMUS 100 to the forefront of autonomous operations.
