⛴Successful demonstration test of Autonomous Unmanned Submersible (AUV) in UK waters
Kawasaki Heavy Industries succeeded in the demonstration test of the autonomous unmanned submersible machine (AUV: Autonomous Underswer Vehicle) at the offshore testing site in Scotland, England.
We are paying attention to increasing demand for pipeline maintenance in the ocean floor Oil & Gas field. Under the subsidy project * 1 of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, we develop advanced submarine boat-related technologies that we have cultivated over many years, and AUV We are working on the development of advanced element technologies.
Since AUV can carry out a given mission while judging the situations placed on its own, unlike the remote-controlled unmanned submersible (ROV: Remotely Operated Vehicle) with a tether cable at the present time, the AUV in a marine vessel A dedicated operator or a special shipboard device will be unnecessary.
