Vehicle Description
The standard REMUS vehicle is 160 cm in length and 19 cm in diameter.
Without integration of additional sensors, the vehicle weighs approximately
37 kg. REMUS is deployed and recovered by two individuals from a small craft.
Four lithium ion batteries power the vehicle for maximum mission distances
of approximately 55 km at 3 knots.
REMUS has four main sections: the nose cone, RDI Acoustic Doppler Current
Profiler module, mid-body, and tail. In addition, there are two possible
nose cone configurations: standard and bioluminescence. Click anywhere on
the diagram below for more specific information on that section. You may
