MARVEL-MBES AUV just make AUV technology accessible. Using MARVEL-MBES is certainly nowadays one of the most simple and cost-effective way to map the seabed.
Equipped with a multibeam echo sounder from Imagenex MARVEL-MBES provide with a great quality of image with high-stability, accurate navigation and capable of managing coastal areas with waves and current.
MARVEL-MBES is equipped with underwater acoustic positioning and communication module.
With an autonomy up to 8 hours, and speed up to 6knots, and depth rated at 300m.
Thanks to the INX navigation, DVL and acoustic positioning, MARVEL-MBES is able to have a navigation accuracy equal to <5m absolute positioning within USBL surface module range.
SEAPLAN software provides an ideal and versatile interface for the MARVEL-MBES AUV and have pre-defined lawn-mover patterns to make a swift mission.
Thanks to its mission programming savings and updates, SEAPLAN facilitates discovery of new area as well as repetitive mission in similar locations.
MARVEL-MBES is provided with all the necessary functions to be ready-to-deploy :
- INX Navigation system
- DVL
- SEAPLAN Software
- Embedded rechargeable batteries
- SEACOMM
- Field case and accessories
- Acoustic positioning and communication module
- Autonomous buoy with USBL unit and dual antenna GNSS-RTK module
