AUV docking station and instrumentation for the DGA

Client/End user : DGA

Objectives

Subsea Tech designed an manufactured an underwater docking station for an AUV used by the naval department of the DGA (French Defence Procurement Agency). Additionally, Subsea Tech was entrusted to integrate various sensors on the AUV.

Besides the unique mechanical design realized in the most cost effectiveness way, Subsea Tech also designed and integrated all electronic components required for the application (calculators, INS, compass, video cameras, lighting, communication, etc.).

Communication and acoustic positioning devices required for the docking process were integrated on both docking system and AUV. Further sonar integration and special implementation processes were also studied (MCO kits, communication buoys, etc.).

Today, the system is used on a regular basis by the client and Subsea Tech provides the required maintenance and updates during 5 years.

Design features

Design and simulation through the analysis of deformable parts that ensure shock absorption during the high speed docking phase

COVID-19 INFORMATION

Due to the growing coronavirus epidemic, the French government has announced a containment measure for the entire country for a minimum period of 14 days starting March 17, 2020. Therefore, Subsea Tech will partially cease its activity for the duration of the containment. During this period, only commercial and engineering activities (studies in particular) will continue to operate. Production, after-sales service and interventions will be suspended until the containment measures are cancelled.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that caution is required and that it is important to respect the basic hygiene instructions, as well as the specific safety instructions put in place by your government.

We thank you for your understanding and look forward to seeing you soon!
