Bluefin-12S

Product catalog summary
Free-Flooded Modularity: The Bluefin-12S is designed with swappable payload sections and battery modules, allowing for quick reconfiguration and maintenance in the field. This design accelerates operational tempo by enabling rapid turnaround between missions.
Versatility & Scalability: The vehicle uses standard building blocks for various configurations, accommodating new payloads and energy sections to meet evolving requirements. It can be delivered with an empty payload section for customer-specific integrations.
Accurate Navigation: The navigation system integrates data from multiple sensors, including GPS and DVL, achieving navigation accuracy with an error of less than 0.5% of the distance traveled, without requiring an INS.
Ease of Use: An intuitive software package facilitates mission planning, monitoring, and post-mission processing, with capabilities for data export to third-party software.
Specifications: The Bluefin-12S features a diameter of 12.75 inches, a length of 12.4 feet, and a dry weight of 470 pounds. It has a buoyancy of 8 pounds net positive and a depth rating of 650 feet. The vehicle can operate for 26 hours at 3 knots with a side scan sonar and reach speeds up to 5 knots. It is powered by three 1.5 kWh lithium-polymer battery packs, totaling 4.5 kWh of energy.
Propulsion and Navigation: The vehicle uses a gimbaled, ducted thruster for propulsion and control. Navigation accuracy is ≤ 0.5% real-time and ≤ 0.2% post-processed, supported by IMU, DVL, SVS, compass, and GPS.
Communications and Safety: The Bluefin-12S includes integrated GPS, RF, Iridium, and strobe antennas, with communication options via RF, Iridium, acoustic, and Ethernet. Safety systems include fault and leak detection, dropweight, acoustic tracking transponder, and independently powered strobe and RDF.
Operator Tool Suite: The system includes a GUI-based software package for mission planning, execution, and data management.
System Package: The comprehensive package includes the vehicle, support equipment, spares, software, training, and a 1-year warranty.
Applications: The Bluefin-12S is suitable for inshore surveys, search and salvage, oceanography, scientific research, mine countermeasures, and unexploded ordnance detection.

Bluefin-12S-1

The Bluefin-12S is a highly modular autonomous underwater vehicle with the ability to carry multiple payloads simultaneously. Its baseline low-cost navigation solution and 4.5-kWh energy capacity provide ample capability for most shallow applications. The ultimate configuration of Bluefin-12S is customizable for unique requirements. FREE-FLOODED MODULARITY – The vehicle design includes swappable payload sections and battery modules for in-field mission reconfiguration. Subsystems can be quickly accessed for rapid turnaround between missions and also allow for in-field maintenance, accelerating operational tempo. VERSATILITY & SCALABILITY – Standard building blocks enable a variety of configurations without having to design from scratch. The Bluefin-12S can accommodate new payloads and enhanced energy sections – evolving with expanding requirements or changing applications. It can also be delivered with an empty payload section and a standard payload interface for customer payload integration. ACCURATE NAVIGATION – Bluefin’s navigation software combines information from the IMU and multiple other sensors – including GPS, a DVL, an SVS and a compass – to provide accurate navigation with an error of less than 0.5% of distance traveled, yielding high-quality data without an INS. EASE OF USE – An intuitive software package enables quick and easy planning and monitoring of missions and rapid post-mission processing and display, and is capable of exporting data to third-party software. The Bluefin-12S can be recovered with a simple A-frame Applications Inshore Survey Search & Salvage Oceanography Scientific Research Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)
