Guardian is a commercial off-the-shelf autonomous underwater vehicle designed for ultra-long-range missions. Capable of up to 5,000-kilometer missions, it can release payload and off-platform assets with precision enabled by hovering and station-keeping capability. Guardian can be deployed from a ship or shore and is easily transported in a standard 40 ft container. Measuring almost 12 meters long, with a 1.7 meter cross section, Guardian is the largest of Cellula Robotics’ AUV products.
Richard Mills, CCO of Cellula Robotics, said, “We are honored to be chosen to deliver a Guardian AUV system. Capable of long-range survey, surveillance, and payload delivery missions, Guardian represents the next frontier in over-the-horizon underwater autonomy, not just gathering data but delivering capability.”
