#HUGIN FPV UAV PLATFORM SOFTWARE#

The AUV uses surface awareness sensors to avoid other marine traffic while communicating with the remote operating centre. The latest member of the HUGIN AUV family is fitted with a maritime broadband radio (MBR) communications system, which allows it to surface and quickly transmit huge amounts of data to various sources, such as other vessels, shore stations or wind turbines with MBR antennas. Navigation aid for the underwater vehicle is provided by KONGSBERG Sunstone inertial navigation system (INS), which uses HISAS micro navigation, terrain-referenced navigation and single transponder navigation and is useful for unsupervised operations. Together, the sensors have the potential to map an area of up to 1,100km² on a single mission.

The combined bathymetry swath from both the EM2040 and HISAS 1032 can generate 20cm resolution across a 750m wide swath when travelling at 3.5k and 40m altitude.

The EM2040 dual receiver offers a swath coverage sector of up to 170° with a single receiver, as well as refined software processing algorithms for improved data quality. The HISAS1032 dual receiver on board the vehicle can generate a 1,000m swath at 2.5k with a typical resolution of 5cm×5cm for synthetic aperture sonar imagery. The AUV can carry different sensors including HISAS1032 dual receiver synthetic aperture sonar and EM2040 dual receiver multi-beam echo sounder for accurate seabed mapping and inspection. The AUV’s design allows for data integration with other platforms based on customer requirements. Secure communication between the AUV and the remote control centre is provided through the Kognifai infrastructure. Collected data is safely transferred to the remote operating centre through the Cloud. The AUV has the ability to collect large amounts of data, which can be stored on redundant media with the possibility to encrypt the data while at rest. The underwater vehicle can control mission execution and handle unexpected events and failure modes while switching between redundant modes of operation. The tail section of the vehicle consists of contra-rotating dual propellers and fins which wrap over the ends of the blades to offer protection.Įquipped with autonomous decision-making capability, the AUV can operate for several days without human intervention by using underwater and surface awareness sensors. The HUGIN Endurance AUV measures 10m long and can be transported in a standard shipping container. Design and features of the HUGIN Endurance AUV
