            Explorer

            International Submarine Engineering (ISE) initiated the design of a modular AUV, the Explorer, following the success of the ARCS AUV from which some component designs were borrowed. The modularity of the Explorer AUV is optimized for longevity and adaptation to new requirements. The cylindrical pressure hull and the wet payload fairing are modular and can be lengthened or shortened. A high quality Inertial Navigation System aided by a Doppler Velocity Log is provided to locate the seabed data.

          • Theseus AUV

            Theseus AUV

            Theseus was originally developed to lay long lengths of fiber-optic cable under the Arctic ice pack. The vehicle completed successful deployments to the Arctic in 1995 and 1996. During the 1996 deployment, several 220 km cables were laid in 600 meter water depths under a 2.5 meter thick ice pack, establishing an AUV endurance record of over 60 hours – all under ice.

            ROV Tooling

            ISE also supports the ROV industry by providing spare parts and specialized tools. The value of an ROV is increased by its adaptability to different missions and its ability to conduct the most work in a single dive with the greatest efficiency. ROV transit time to and from operating depths are typically non-productive stages of a dive, so the ratio of transit time to time at depth must be minimized. Hence the more work that can be accomplished within a single dive, the greater the value of the configuration.
