Iver4 580 AUV

Iver4 580 AUV

Built with Iver4 next-generation technology, the Iver4 580 features a full suite of sensors in a portable size and small mission footprint. The combination of transportability and in-water efficiency makes the Iver4 580 the ideal vehicle for commercial and defense survey missions.

Iver4 580

Designed to minimize off-mission time

Its sealed battery section can be swapped in the field and easily reassembled without the need for vacuum pump or INS-realignment. Data recorded from the on-board sensor suite can be downloaded from the Iver4 580 at GigE speed allowing the vehicle to get back on mission in minutes.

Key Features

  • Sealed vehicle sections that can be paired at the wet-break point with no special tools or vacuum pump required
  • Rechargeable Li-Ion battery section that is field-swappable and can be shipped as non-hazardous material
  • Full sensor suite in forward-sealed section including side scan sonar, inertial navigation system, sound velocity probe and doppler velocity log
  • Durable titanium and carbon fiber construction
  • High-speed data download with GigE speed
  • Unmatched shallow water and surf zone performance with sophisticated shore avoidance autonomy and robust navigation architecture
  • Years of sensor integration experience on the Iver platform produce the highest position accuracy available with leading inertial and acoustic navigation sensors
