Hi Øystein, this is a modification we made for one of our clients:
This was designed specifically to have room for our EnviroSense system, which you can see part of on the starboard side and just above the battery tube; there is also an echosounder on the port side. We also designed it so that we can have room for up to 3 batteries, or 2 batteries and a manipulator, or whatever combination works best for each use case. We have made 3 of this design so far, and we are now working on improving it over Christmas, based on feedback received from our customers:
- Adding another T200 truster aft for improved balancing / COG and lift capacity
- Adding a transversal reinforcement forward to improve stiffness.
- Changing the mounting angle of the vertical thrusters to improve flow, similar to that found on larger WROVs.
- We’ve added a tether disconnect after this picture was taken.
What do you think?
