OceanServer Technology has bagged contracts for 6 new Iver AUVs across 3 different customers. The systems were expected to be delivered by the end of January 2015.
Four systems will be delivered to YSI/Xylem for use in water quality application utilizing the YSI Sonde 6-Series Sensors. The second customer, John’s Hopkins University, recently took delivery of their first Iver3-580 system for research purposes. Johns Hopkins currently operates two Iver2 AUVs.
The final system was delivered to Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh Scotland. This system was awarded as part of the EDU-RAS (The Edinburgh Alliance in Robotics and Autonomous Systems) for research equipment. The Iver3-580 system is expected to be used for survey purposes using the Klein 3500 with both side scan sonar and bathy capability. The Iver platform will also act as a research platform for sensing, communications and mobile computing for reliable execution of seabed and other surveys.
