COMET 300 AUVAUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLESwarm operating mode Description COMET is a cost-effective operational AUV with real-time positioning and acoustic communication system, designed to meet the current needs of marine research and industry. COMET can operate alone or in a network with surface buoys or vessel. It is also the first AUV able to operate in homogeneous swarm. COMET AUV can work down to 250 m depth, regardless of currents, thanks to high-speed (>10 knots) capability. COMET is the ideal solution for extensive area surveys as marine energy fields or protected areas monitoring, offshore resources detection or anti-mine warfare. Applications • Scanning in turbulent waters (Turbidity/salinity, Seabed scanning) • Tracking and survey • Passive acoustics and seismic surveys • Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) • UXO / buried objects detection Payloads & options • COMETLBL • Side scan sonar / bathymetry / • Sub-bottom profiler • Magnetometer • Length: 1.77 to 2.50 m • 0 150 mm / max height: 332 mm • Weight: 27 to 50 kg • Immersion: < 250 m - Speed > 10 kn • Autonomy: Up to 20 hours • Positioning: COMET LBL + GPS + INS + DVL • Operating temperature: 5°C/+70°C IHO S-44 compliant CharacteristicsPowered bvSDA • Portable & easy to deploy • Extended autonomy • High speed • Swarm mode • Accurate positioning & communication • A full array of sensors: positioning, sonar, magnetometer, water parameters RTSYS - Underwater Acoustics & Drones +33(0)297 898 580 -

COMET 300 AUV • Portable & easy to deploy COMET AUV has been designed to be deployed from a small boat. Its weight and size make it easy to deploy and recover by one person. • Extended autonomy COMET can operate a full working day and up to 20 hours depending on sensors and speed. • High speed With high speed capacity, COMET can reach work area or be recovered quickly, e.g. in case of deteriorating weather conditions or emergencies. COMET can also handle strong currents. • Swarm mode Up to 6 COMET AUV can operate together in swarm mode. Able to communicate together when spaced by 1,5 km...
