Product Overview

We have three pre-configured ecoSUBu5-Science series vehicles, u5 SVP, u5 CT and u5 CT-F.  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 (conductivity & temperature)


​Optional:

  • Marine Sonic Technologies Sea Scan Echo Altimeter; or
  • Nano-modem

The ecoSUBu5-Science CT features the Valeport CT sensor, an inductive cell conductivity sensor with PRT temperature sensor.
