YUCO-3DSS, AUV for high resolution and swath bathymetry

YUCO-3DSS micro-AUV just make AUV technology accessible. Using YUCO-3DSS is certainly nowadays one of the most simple and cost-effective way for high resolution swath bathymetry.

Equipped with a 3D Side Scan Sonar from Ping DSP YUCO-3DSS provide with a great quality of image with high-stability, accurate navigation and capable of managing coastal areas with waves and current.

With an autonomy up to 8 hours, and speed up to 6knots, and depth rated at 300m.

Thanks to the INX navigation and DVL YUCO-3DSS is able to achieve navigation accuracy better than +/-2% without requiring any external elements sur as acoustic telemetry.

This is one of the advantages that makes SEABER underwater vehicle so unique, accurate navigation, ease of use, great autonomy and a real single person deployment no external acoustic tool required.

SEAPLAN software provides an ideal and versatile interface for the YUCO-3DSS micro-AUV and have pre-defined lawn-mover patterns to make a swift scan mission.

Thanks to its mission programming savings and updates, SEAPLAN facilitates discovery of new area as well as repetitive mission in similar locations.

YUCO-3DSS is provided with all the necessary functions to be ready-to-deploy :

• INX Navigation system
• DVL
• SEAPLAN Software
• Embedded rechargeable batteries
• SEACOMM
• Field case and accessories
