Discovering Hydrus | The Drone Revolution Underwater

Advanced Navigation’s Hydrus is the drone revolution underwater. As the world’s first fully autonomous micro underwater drone, Hydrus revolutionises underwater research, survey and exploration by making data capture simple and accessible. Small enough to be carried on a plane, Hydrus is effectively an all-in-one (untethered) autonomous solution ready for use directly out of the box. It can be launched and retrieved by a single person, alleviating the need for expensive remote operated vehicles (ROVs), survey vessels, watercraft, highly trained operators and divers. 3D missions can be planned in minutes, without specific knowledge or training. The acoustic communication capabilities allow users to monitor and adjust missions on the fly. A 4K 60 FPS camera coupled with powerful lighting ensures the highest quality video and photography. An AI image-processing system dynamically balances camera settings and lighting, and compensates for turbidity, even in the most challenging conditions. Hydrus has the potential to discover why some of the ocean’s greatest climate change events are occurring, inspect offshore wind farms, detect localise and classify marine species and subsea assets, while monitoring change in any underwater environment.
