Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Charging and Power

Solution to Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Charging

Crowd Energy is developing a solution for submerged recharging and powering of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.

Ocean Turbine Charging will allow for uninterrupted AUV workflow by eliminating the need to surface and recover an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for charging.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) – An autonomous underwater vehicle is a underwater robot that performs a function without requiring input from an operator.

AUVs are part of a larger group of undersea systems known as unmanned underwater vehicles, including non-autonomous remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs)

ROVs are controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control.

UUV – Military AUVs are referred to as unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs).
