Hydroid, Inc. was founded in November 2001, follow- ing the execution of a technology transfer license with the

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The intent of the license was to transfer the REMUS

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology out of the academic development environment and into the commercial marketplace, making the technology available to a wide array of users. Over the past several years,

Hydroid has taken the REMUS product and technology to a new level, providing world-class sales, service and sup- port to an ever-increasing customer base. Hydroid has realized rapid growth and in support of this growth has opened a European office to service an ever increasing international market. This team is enhanced by the orga- nization's growing representative network, which provides local sales and support at a global level. There are over 160

REMUS 100 vehicles in operation around the globe, serv- ing customers within the military, scientific, and com- mercial market segments. Hydroid maintains a full service production and test facility, staffed by a highly skilled and experienced group of individuals committed to our cus- tomers' ultimate success. All products are designed and built to meet a rigorous quality standard, and all products are fully documented and designed for large production runs, thus ensuring a repeatable, high quality product.

Hydroid also offers customers a comprehensive, easy to follow training seminar, which ensures that users gain a full understanding of their REMUS vehicle's capabilities, data collection and analysis, and service requirements.

Hydroid's customer service department is well-versed and readily available to assist customers in all aspects of oper- ation throughout the life of the vehicle. In June 2008,

Hydroid was acquired by Kongsberg Maritime.

Hydroid offers a family of AUVs, including: • REMUS 100: The REMUS 100 is a powerful, light- weight, compact AUV designed for operation in coastal environments up to 100 meters in depth. REMUS 600: The REMUS 600 is a highly versatile, modular AUV used for the collection of oceanographic data in water depths up to 600 meters, and can also be configured for 1500 or 3000 meter operations. REMUS 6000: The REMUS 6000 is capable of high- ly intricate deep-water operations in water depths up to 6000 meters, allowing for a wide spectrum of autonomous operations.
