Bluefin-12D Product Sheet - Bluefin Robotics

Bluefin-12DThe Bluefin-12D is a modular autonomous underwater vehicle with flexibility that allows for swappable payloads. Notonly can it dive deeper, but it has greater energy and payload capacity than its shallower counterpart. The Bluefin-12Dis a combination of immense capability and efficient packaging customizable for a variety of applications.FREE-FLOODED MODULARITY – The vehicle designincludes swappable payload sections and battery modulesfor in-field mission reconfiguration. Subsystems can bequickly accessed for rapid turnaround between missionsand also allow for in-field maintenance, acceleratingoperational tempo.VERSATILITY & SCALABILITY – Standard building blocksenable a variety of configurations without having to designfrom scratch. The Bluefin-12D can accommodate newpayloads and enhanced energy sections – evolving withexpanding requirements or changing applications. Itcan also be delivered with an empty payload sectionand a standard payload interface for customer payloadintegration.Swappable batteries facilitate rapid mission turnaround.ACCURATE NAVIGATION – The Bluefin-12D uses anINS to provide the best possible navigation accuracy.Dead reckoning drift is typically less than 0.1% ofdistance traveled, yielding higher quality data. USBLaiding further improves navigation accuracy.EASE OF USE – An intuitive software package enablesquick and easy planning and monitoring of missionsand rapid post-mission processing and display, and iscapable of exporting data to third-party software.Applications Offshore Survey Search & Salvage Archaeology & Exploration Environmental Protection & Monitoring Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)553 South Street Quincy, Massachusetts 02169 USA +1.617.715.7000 www.bluefinrobotics.com
