SEABER AUVs now equipped with ADCP sensor!
We’re really pleased to announce a major upgrade to our micro-AUVs: the integration of the Nucleus1000 developed by @Nortek.
It combines a DVL, altimeter and fully configurable ADCP in one compact unit. 🦾
Fully integrated into our SEAPLAN Mission Planning Software, ADCP configuration is now fully accessible and highly customizable prior to deployment.
Operators can:
📏 Define the measurement range
🔍 Adjust the cell size
↔️ Set the blanking distance
✔️ Activate two powerful features such as: AUV velocity suppression to isolate sea current measurements and bin mapping correction to compensate AUV roll and pitch, allowing you to maintain a perfectly vertical profiling column.
In the data shown below, the ADCP is pushed to its maximum range (i.e. 30 meters) and highest resolution.
➡️ The result is a dynamic ADCP system that provides clean and reliable current profiles over a wide aread.
SEABER Micro-AUVs combined with Nucleus1000 are perfectly suited for seabed mapping, sediment transport studies and oceanographic research!
As in the picture below, you can also combine Nucleus1000 with high underwater quality camera. 📸
