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 standard nose cone includes both the Ultra Short BaseLine
(USBL) and Long BaseLine (LBL) acoustic navigation transducers and an
Ocean Sensors® 200 Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (CTD) sensor.
Both the serial and single pin power/data connectors, which are attached
to the vehicle's bulkhead, can be accessed through this section. These
connectors are used to establish communication between a laptop and the
vehicle through a power interface box, via either a direct serial link
or an Ethernet link.
