HYBRID AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE, The first asset engineered specifically for the cryosphere. The Arctic Sentinel HAUV bridges the gap between long-endurance gliders and high-speed AUVs. By combining a 4L Buoyancy Engine with a folding propeller drive, we deliver months of silent persistence—with the power to sprint when targets are detected.
DUAL-MODE PROPULSION
SILENCE MEETS SPEED.Routine patrols utilize low-power buoyancy gliding for maximum endurance. When a threat is detected or currents exceed 2 knots, the foldable propeller deploys, transitioning the vehicle instantly into a 3.5-knot sprint mode for interception.
ICE-SHEDDING DESIGN
SNAG-FREE HYDRODYNAMICS. Operating beneath the ice canopy requires a clean profile. Our Wingless Lifting Body design eliminates external appendages that catch on ice keels, ensuring safe navigation through the jagged topography of the marginal ice zone.
STRATIFICATION BREAKER
4,000cc BUOYANCY ENGINE. Arctic waters feature aggressive density layers (haloclines) that trap standard gliders. Our massive 4L displacement engine provides the raw control authority needed to punch through fresh-water runoff and cycle the full water column
OPTICAL UNDERWATER LINK
GIGABIT UPLINK.Surfacing through ice to transmit data is impossible. The HAUV utilizes Blue-Green Laser optical modems to "dump" terabytes of sonar imagery to seabed nodes at 1 Gbps, ensuring secure, undetected data transfer.
VARIANT A:
ISR (CORE)
PERSISTENT EYES
The standard configuration. Equipped with Side-Scan Sonar and Passive Acoustic Arrays for continuous, multi-month monitoring of the Northwest Passage
VARIANT B:
IMI (INTERVENTION)
INFRASTRUCTURE DEFENSE
The "Janitor" configuration. Swaps sensor payloads for articulated manipulator arms and laser scanners, allowing the asset to inspect cables, turn valves, and repair subsea infrastructure under supervised autonomy
VARIANT C:
EFFECTOR
KINETIC DETERRENCE
A low-cost, attritable "Smart Mine" configuration. Remains dormant at seabed nodes in "Hot Standby" mode, waking only to neutralize confirmed high-value adversary targets
