Aquagrid

Aquagrid is a cutting-edge underwater positioning and communication system designed to meet the needs of modern underwater applications. It combines advanced sensor fusion, acoustic triangulation, and robust algorithms to deliver precise navigation and reliable communication for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and other underwater systems.

Aquagrid features :

  • Combined Positioning and C2 solution  suitable for not just one AUV, but AUV swarms

  • Coverage area Upto 9 sq km

  • Position, velocity, attitude estimates for autonomous navigation

  • Remote monitoring and mission planning of your AUV fleet with our cloud based C3 system

  • Scalability Increasing the number of buoys increases accuracy and caters to more AUVs

  • Accuracy comparable to LBL systems (lesser than 1 m CEP) with ease of deployment of SBL

  • Untether your ROV by converting it into an AUV using the Aquagrid autopilot

  • Coordination between UAV, AUV and USV swarms

Aquagrid comes with our C3 system (Stardaust), that allows you to monitor your ROV, AUV position in real time as well as upload mission plans to the vehicle remotely. 


The system is designed to be extremely robust with our Unscented Kalman filter that can operate with a full triangulation solution as observation if 4 or more buoys are in range, however if even 3 or 2 buoys are within range, our tightly coupled solution still provides navigable estimates  of position, velocity and attitude which can be used for closed loop navigation.


If the Aquagrid buoys are equipped with an ESA remote communication terminal (Not part of standard package), you could montor and control your AUV swarm from anywhere in the planet.


The Aquagrid solution is modular and scalable (By default it is meant to cater to 6 AUVs), as you increase the number of surface buoys, you increase the system range, accuracy and ability to coordinate with more AUVs


Aquagrid is designed to provide the accuracy of Long Baseline (LBL) with the ease of deployment of Short Baseline (SBL)


Untethering your ROV is essential if you want to maneuver around a coral reef or an oil rig and take pictures. Aquagrid offers the possibility of converting your ROV into an AUV


Aquagrid is a cornerstone of our maritime security proposal which was shortlisted in a contest sponsored by the European Defense Agency (EDA)


Further information about it's technical details in our blog post.


Aquagrid is supported by funding from the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre in Lithuania (ESA BIC).
