Arran Holloway said, “The AUV demonstrated exceptionally stable flight and accurate navigation during the trial and completed all tests successfully. This is a major milestone in the development of the flying node concept and demonstrates the viability of some of the novel features of the system”.
ARL is a UK marine robotics company developing a game-changing, patented, autonomous underwater platform for ocean floor-based sensing – the flying nodes system. Defence and offshoreenergy companies are seeking cost-efficient solutions to replace manually controlled deployment oflarge sensor grids on the ocean floor. ARL will offer a swarm of novel AUVs carrying industry-provensensor packages which are autonomously deployed, positioned on the seabed and recovered andcreates a new market application for underwater drones
