Amphibious Bottom Crawlers

AUGV for amphibious surf zone robotics operations.

Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGV) comes in three sizes to meet the needs of your surf zone robotics mission requirements, starting with the two person portable 150 for smaller payloads and lighter weather and surf conditions, the 250 for harsher conditions and more extensive payload requirements, or the largest in the series the 350 for your heaviest payloads and harshest conditions.

Built on OPENSEA, Bayonet AUGVs provide flexible configurations with the ability to scale the vehicle size and power requirements to meet the demands of any payload, operation, or environment.

The vehicles’ low profile and high stability allows them to penetrate the surf zone with up to 6ft wave height and collect data independent of sea state and weather providing more days on task. 

Low domestic power draw allows for long term station keeping of 100 days for tidal or current observations, the sink gauge will negate any scouring. Program your system to collect tidal data using the pressure sensor and then run the survey mission before you recover it.

Standard range is 10 miles submerged and 22 miles dry, and a 1.5 knot speed provides high sounding density.

Three single operator modes are available: autonomous, tethered or RF link buoy.
