Large AUV (Explorer)
The Explorer AUV is a large, traditional deep-diving survey vehicle. The addition of forward planes set the Explorer apart giving it unparalleled manoeuvrability and stability. The MUN Explorer is typically configured for high-resolution bathymetric surveys with an R2Sonic 2022 multibeam and EdgeTech 2200 side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler. Because of the Explorer’s open and modular architecture, it can be reconfigured to carry a variety of scientific and survey payload by request.
AOSCENT staff are experienced with all aspects of AUV operations including mission planning, sensor integration, and offshore operations.
