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 tail has two sub-sections. The first sub-section, an air-tight
compartment, houses the propulsion motor and controller circuitry for
communicating with the motor and fins. The second sub-section, located
at the end of the vehicle, contains the stator and propeller shaft.
This sub-section is open to seawater.
