Vehicle Description
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
also be interested in details on how REMUS navigates.
The mid-body is an air-tight chamber that houses the majority
of the operational components of the vehicle, including the control
computer. This computer, based on PC-104 technology, incorporates a
166MHz Pentium Processor. The compass, heading sensors, yaw rate sensor,
and the four 1kW-hour lithium ion batteries are located in this section as well.
