Product Overview

We have five pre-configured ecoSUBm5-Science series vehicles, m5 MAXm5 CT-F, m5 CT-F+Tu, m5 CT-F+DO and m5 CT-F+Tu+DO.  We provide pre-configured options for convenience only, ecoSUB users can define the payloads for any vehicle and make changes to the options below.  We are happy to provide integration work packages for new payloads as long as they meet sensible requirement for size, weight and power consumption. 

Our Science series of ecoSUB AUVs are focused on measuring physical and biogeochemical parameters.  Collecting science data is key for this series of vehicles which are purposely designed for users in research, commercial and defence applications.  Many sensors for measuring key parameters are available, however, most are not designed for use in autonomous platforms, especially not ones as small as ecoSUB.  The ecoSUB team has worked with a wide range of sensor manufacturers to facilitate the availability of small, low power instruments, and continues to do so.

Standard payload:

  • Valeport CT-F (conductivity, temperature & fluorometer (Chl a))
  • Valeport Hyperion turbidity sensor
  • Valeport VA500 OEM Altimeter
  • Valeport Fast response temperature sensor 


​Optional:

  • Nano-modem

The addition of the Hyperion Turbidity sensor also provides an integrated VA500 OEM altimeter and fast response temperature sensor into the vehicle.
