Eelume S6

DESCRIPTION

Eelume S6 is an Industrial-Robot from Eelume. It is built for Data Collection, Exploration, Mapping.

The Eelume S6 is Eelume's medium-class All-Terrain AUV, built for maximum data quality, advanced navigation and enhanced endurance. It is rated to 600 m, is not man-portable, and can be configured for up to multi-day operation, launched and recovered from shore, a pier, a vessel or a platform of opportunity. Its core payloads are a Kongsberg Discovery HISAS 2020 synthetic aperture sonar, giving 3 x 3 cm resolution imagery with co-registered bathymetry and in-mission processing, and a 4K high-resolution still camera with VOYIS imaging for 2D photomosaics and ultra-high-resolution 3D point clouds. Standard DVL-aided navigation gives 0.1 % of distance travelled straight-line accuracy (typically 0.02 %). Optional payloads include 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.
