Is an autonomous underwater vehicle specially designed for the internal inspections of pipelines and tunnels at distances up to 5000m.
The vehicle is equipped with a front HD color video camera with integrated LED lighting and can be also fitted with various other sensors such as multibeam sonar (acoustic imaging) and acoustic profiler.
It is connected to the surface through a 2.1 mm diameter Dyneema cable, allowing its recovery and the measurement of the covered distance by an odometer located on the electrical winch.
VIDEO CAMERA
The Torpedo AUV embeds a 720p high sensitivity color camera, with integrated LED lighting.
PROPULSION
The 2 longitudinal thrusters and the embedded batteries allow the Torpedo AUV travelling up to 5km distance inside pipes.
ODOMETER
The electrical winch holds 5km of 2.1 mm Dyneema cable and is fitted with a digital odometer to measure the distance covered by Torpedo.
