BLUEFIN 21 AUV
RECONFIGURABLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE
The modular design of the Bluefin-21 lets you swap payloads rapidly between dives. All mechanical and electrical interfaces are standardized, so you can readily integrate the sensor of your choice into a payload module. With Bluefin's software developer's kit, you can incorporate your new sensor into the vehicles's software, including data stream sunchronization with the vehicle's navigation.
FLEXIBLE
The bluefin-21 is the world's smallest deep-water survey AUV. Its ease of handling and fast turn-around on deck maximizes the time spent in the water, gathering data. Support vessels can carry and operate multiple Bluefin-21 AUVs, thus optimizing limited ship time. The intuitive operator's interface allows you to create new missions on the fly; this way you can adapt your sampling strategy to mazimize performance.
RELIABLE
The Bluefin-21 employs a rugged fairing that withstands launch and recovery in inclement weather. The articulated tailcone eliminates the risk of turnaround on deck, while eliminating the need to open and reseal pressurized vessels. The software suite - both on-board the AUV and on the operator's laptop - had be refined through over fifteen years of military, academic, and commercial use.
