DESCRIPTION
iDrogue is a Military from Ocius. It is built for Loading, Research, Unloading.
iDrogue is Ocius' autonomous recovery system for capturing and releasing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) at depth. Unlike docking systems that rely on the AUV, it puts the intelligence and autonomy on the drogue itself, so it can recover a vehicle simply and quickly without communicating with it. Developed with the Royal Australian Navy, Trusted Autonomous Systems, the Australian Maritime College and the University of New South Wales, iDrogue is designed to capture and release any AUV, from any platform, in almost any sea state, using a ring of grasping tentacles to hold the vehicle.
FEATURES
- Autonomous capture and release of AUVs at depth
- Autonomy on the drogue, not the AUV
- No communication with the AUV needed
- Works with any AUV from any platform
- Designed for almost any sea state
- Grasping tentacle mechanism
