NETRA is a family of torpedo-shaped autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) from Xera Robotics of Chennai, built to run underwater missions with little human intervention. The vehicles combine autonomous navigation, AI-based perception, underwater imaging and sensing and mission-level autonomy, and they can be configured for different mission profiles and payloads in coastal, offshore and deep-water settings. Xera's product page lists a length of 167 cm, a depth rating of 300 m, a payload of 5 kg and a speed range of 6 to 12 knots, and gives a weight figure of 30 without a unit. Capabilities include modular payload integration, data collection and mapping and long-duration missions. The vehicle in the maker's photo is a grey hull with an orange nose cone, a vertical tail fin, sensor masts and a radio antenna, running on the surface. Xera targets underwater surveillance, seabed mapping, marine research, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring and defence and maritime missions. Related lines on the site are NETRA X, for coordinated AUV swarms, and NETRA Deep, for deep-sea systems.
