knots on a single deployment thanks to its rechargeable batteries. Moreover COMET AUV is used as collaborative underwater drones or operate in “swarm” mode.In July 2015 COMET AUVs realized a world premier by operating in swarm mode scouting in front of a vessel. COMET AUVs are able through swarm mode develop-ment and using its underwater acoustic capabilities to collaborate on various 3D geometrical that will improve their positioning accuracy. These AUVs can operate from several meters to 1500 meters from each other and are able to accomplish a various type of missions and communicate in broadband. A wide range of sensors load can be embedded on COMET AUVs which are now ready to provide their cutting edge capabilities to many applications.Booth #L550 SEACONVectorNavVectorNav introduces the VN-360 GPS-Compass, an OEM heading and position sensor that provides a low-cost alternative to digital magnetometers and larger, more expensive GPS-compass/Satellite-compass systems. By connecting two GPS/GNSS antennas mounted with a clear view of the sky, the VN-360 provides a reliable, fast-acquisition position and heading solution for a wide range of applica-SEACON (part of TE Connectivity) are tions.
