— OVERVIEW
A 4.4 m autonomous survey vehicle rated to 6,000 m. Flies lines at 4 knots, then stops and hovers over anything worth a closer look.
K6 is the vehicle most of our clients meet first. It does the long, repetitive part of a survey on its own: flying a planned grid, logging depth and imagery, and re-flying anything the onboard models are unsure of.
Four tunnel thrusters let it stop and hold station over a single flange or anode in a two-knot current, which is the job a work-class ROV and a ship used to share.
— WHY IT WORKS
Three details that matter at depth.
01
Flies lines, then hovers
Switches from 4-knot survey flight to station-keeping within one vehicle length.
02
Six sealed modules
Swap a payload bay on the quayside in an afternoon with standard wet-mate connectors.
03
Surfaces to report
Sends events and a coverage map over Iridium every time it comes up for a fix.
