SEDI-ATI’s experience in the field of fiber optic links for both unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles has enabled it to design and manufacture the innovative RBOB-HAUV, a disposable fiber optic spool for amphibious vehicles.
Ultra-compact and lightweight, it integrates directly onto the drone. Designed for high-speed deployment missions up to 50 km, it can operate both in the air and underwater environments. The 50 km version has been tested at 90 km/h in aerial conditions and at 20 knots underwater, while other configurations can reach speeds of up to 150 km/h in aerial operations.
The RBOB-HAUV is particularly well suited to guiding an amphibious drone, and to transmitting huge data streams in real time from on-board high-resolution cameras and sensors.
In addition, it is insensitive to EMI, making it immune to radio jamming.
Maneuvering in and out of the water, in circles, or even around obstacles is not a problem. Fiber optics are never a “leash” on the drone, and ensure permanent, real-time communication between the drone and the control station.
This concept has the potential for many civilian applications. Indeed, it could be used to explore and collect data in difficult-toaccess underwater environments. Its ability to cover vast areas quickly is also a major asset for search and rescue missions.
Note: both the HAUV and the control station need to be equipped with an opto-electronic device.
