Hydroid, LLC was founded in
November 2001, following the execu- tion 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.
The past several years, Hydroid has taken the REMUS product and tech- nology to a new level, providing world-class sales, service and support 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 mar- ket. This team is enhanced by the organization's growing representative network, which provides local sales and support at a global level. There are more than 160 REMUS vehicles in operation around the globe, serv- ing customers within the military, sci- entific, and commercial market seg- ments. Hydroid maintains a full serv- ice production and test facility, staffed by a highly skilled and experi- enced group of individuals commit- ted to our customers' ultimate suc- cess. Hydroid also offers customers a comprehensive, easy to follow train- ing 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 operation throughout the life of the vehicle.
Technology Profile: From the coastline to the deepest corners of the ocean, Hydroid now offers a family of
AUVs to meet a full range of autonomous needs. REMUS 100 is a powerful, light-weight, compact
AUV designed for operation in coastal environments up to 100 meters in depth. REMUS 100 can be configured to include a wide variety of standard and/or customer specified sensors and system options to meet your unique autonomous mission requirements. The vehicle has been used extensively for hydrographic and environmental monitoring applica- tions. REMUS 600 is a 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. The vehicle was designed to provide extended mission endurance, increased payload capaci- ty, and greater operating depth.
REMUS 6000 is capable of highly intricate deep-water operations in water depths up to 6000 meters, allowing for a wide spectrum of autonomous operations.
