MARVEL-LUMEN

MARVEL-LUMEN micro-AUV just make AUV technology accessible. Using MARVEL-LUMEN is certainly nowadays one of the most simple and cost-effective way for imaging acquisition that features geo-referenced digital capture of both still images and video.
Equipped with a high quality underwater camera from Arctic Rays, MARVEL-LUMEN provide with a great quality of image with high-stability, accurate navigation and capable of managing coastal areas with waves and current.
MARVEL-LUMEN 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-LUMEN 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-LUMEN micro-AUV and have pre-defined lawn-mover patterns to make a swift scan mission.
Thanks to its mission programming savings and updates, SEAPLAN facilitates discovery of new area as well as repetitive mission in similar locations.
MARVEL-LUMEN 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

 

*MARVEL AUV is subject to dual use export license from SBDU authority in France.
