UUV - Autonomous underwater vehicle
UUV Quadroin: bionic design for optimized underwater performance
The Quadroin EvoLogics is an unmanned underwater vehicle with a low-drag bionic design. The result of many years of research, its penguin-inspired streamlined shape optimizes its hydrodynamic performance.
Optimized underwater performance, communication and flexibility
• Fast and manoeuvrable up to 5 m/s,
• The propulsion system comprises 4 horizontal thrusters in X configuration,
• Automatically retractable antenna for greater endurance and communication range on the surface,
• Surface communication module with WiFi, 868 MHz radio and GNSS,
• S2C M 18/34 “mini” integrated modem with streamlined antenna cover for underwater communication and positioning,
• Payload capacity for various sensors and instruments,
• Powerful lighting for easy location and retrieval.
