Eelume S3

DESCRIPTION

Eelume S3 is an Industrial-Robot from Eelume. It is built for Data Collection, Exploration, Mapping. Key figures: 660 min runtime.

The Eelume S3 is Eelume's small-class All-Terrain AUV, built for portability, agile operations and rapid deployment. It is two-person portable and can be launched by one person from shore, a pier, a vessel or a platform of opportunity, and is rated to 300 m or 600 m, with other depth ratings on demand. It runs for up to 11 hours or 62 km depending on payload, with long-endurance and long-range options, at a top speed of more than 4 knots. Its core payloads are a Wavefront Solstice Multi-Aperture Sonar, with resolution down to 3 cm, a swath of up to 200 m and in-mission processing, and a 4K high-resolution still camera with VOYIS imaging that produces 2D photomosaics and 3D photogrammetry, so one vehicle can map an area, then detect, classify and identify objects in the same mission. Standard DVL-aided navigation gives 0.2 % of distance travelled straight-line accuracy (typically 0.04 %). Optional payloads include synthetic aperture sonar, an underwater hyperspectral imager, multibeam echosounder, magnetometer, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, chemical sniffers, water sampler and user-defined payloads. Like the rest of the S-series it is an articulated All-Terrain AUV with 360 degrees of freedom in pitch and roll, a vertical dive and ascend mode, agile surface control, low-speed inspection that replaces hovering, stable long-range survey at any roll angle and close-up terrain following down to 1 m. It carries an external hot-swappable SSD of 2-8 TB, Iridium, GPS, Wi-Fi and long-range radio for surface communication, acoustic positioning and communication with a USBL option, and works with Eelume's Mission Manager software, the Eelink acoustic/radio/Wi-Fi/satellite link and a lean operations kit; open APIs connect it to external command-and-control systems, USVs and other unmanned systems.
