Drawing on experience from trials and operations in the commercial offshore sector with Gavia AUVs , Hafmynd Ehf announces a new line: The Gavia Offshore Surveyor which is specifically geared to the commercial application of low logistics AUVs, carrying a variety of survey grade sensors. This new line includes a number of upgrades and optimizations particular to commercial offshore operations.
The Gavia Offshore Surveyor is a low logistic powerful survey tool capable of carrying out a variety of tasks including bathymetric surveys, pipeline inspections, environmental surveys, exploration, post hurricane inspection, pre-lay/prebuild and post-lay/post-build surveys for pipelines and platforms at a fraction of the cost of traditional survey means.
The Gavia Offshore is a man portable AUV carrying powerful survey grade sensors and with capabilities including: • AutoTrackSwath Bathymetry • Side Scan
1000m
• High precision DVL INS for
navigation
ratings of 500 and
• Small logistical footprint • User changeable modules for
rapid reconfiguration sensors
• DGPS • RF Modem

Self contained survey solution
•
Readily upgradable with additional modules
SeeByte’s AutoTracker: Autonomous Pipeline Tracking • The AutoTracker maintains the AUV at a constant
offset from a pipeline based on information received from the onboard side scan sonar • The offset can be chosen to optimize the data gath-
ering process. • Additional sensors can be employed such as swath
bathymetry, camera and custom payloads
High Quality Data • Powerful survey grade sensors • Swath coverage of up to 12 times vehicle altitude • High accuracy DGPS and DVL INS navigation • All data left in manufacturers original format and
readily exportable to a number of post processing packages • Payload modules available for carrying custom
payloads
Modular Construction Due to the modular construction of the Gavia Offshore Surveyor the system can conduct a variety of applications and additional capability is just a user changeable module away. Gavia Offshore modules can be purchased at later dates to increase capability as mission requirements dictate.
