Hydroid on track with AUV

Hydroid Inc. said it has passed Critical Design Review to provide Littoral Battlespace Sensing (LBS) Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (AUVs) and associated technologies to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). The review was to verify that Hydroid is in compliance with design requirements to proceed with system fabrication, demonstration, and testing. Hydroid is providing REMUS 600 AUVs with technologies for meteorological and oceanographic data collection, as well as technologies to process and disseminate the data. The end user will be the Naval Oceanographic Office at Stennis Sapce Center, Miss., which provides data to all elements of the Department of Defense. (Source: SeaDiscovery, 05/26/11)
