Chassis: A modular chassis manufactured from polypropylene. This extremely rugged material is maintenance free, self-supporting in water and non-corroding — providing the vehicle with an energy absorbing protective framework. Ancillary equipment are easily mounted on the frames and bottom panel.
Propulsion: Fully pressure compensated, high performance DC brushless thrusters. The high torque, gearless thruster design is highly robust and quiet. A hydrodynamic nozzle provides symmetric thrust with a compact form factor. Careful attention to component design and materials for reliability and ruggedness, such as the use of high quality industrial mechanical seals, provide a long, dependable and near maintenance-free operational life.
Vehicle Electronics/Telemetry: Continuous full control and diagnostics of onboard vehicle functions through a digital communications link. Standard configuration includes up to three continuous video channels over TSP (Twisted Shielded Pair), and expandable digital telemetry over copper including RS232, RS485, Ethernet and options for fiber-optic.

Camera unit: DOE 18:1 color zoom camera unit.
Depth rating: 1,000m (3,300 ft)
Resolution: 470 lines of TV
Sensitivity: 1 Lux @ f1.4
Viewing angle: 7°-58°
Length: 241 mm (9.5 in)
Diameter: 89 mm (3.5 in)
Weight in water: Neutral
Air-weight: 1.4 kg (3 lb)Camera tilt platform: DOE electrically driven tilt actuator providing a smooth tilt speed. Operational arc: ± 90° from horizontal, with adjustable stops.
User Interfaces: The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides intuitive feedback and active graphics for easily controlling vehicle handling, navigation and sensor data collection. The GUI includes several menu screens with readily accessible information to guide connectivity, setup, pre-dive checklist, navigation, inspection, post-dive checklist, diagnostics and an on-line searchable technical manual. The ergonomic hand controller can override the GUI/OSD (On Screen Display) computer, providing redundancy and back-up.
On Screen Display: This is a continuously updated video display, which provides the operator with intuitive compass rose heading, depth, turns count, elapsed time, water leak alarm and much more information, allowing the vehicle to be operated safely. It may also be used to display sensor data such as temperature, altitude or GPS position on the screen. Additional digital and analog I/O channels and vehicle data may be exported to the navigational or survey computer.
Navigation: Rate gyro stabilized, solid-state magnetic compass unit: resolution ± 0.1°, accuracy ± 0.5°, update rate 50 mS. Electronic depth sensor: accuracy 0.25% of fsd.
Auto-pilot: Selectable automatic pilot for auto-heading, autodepth and optional auto-altitude.
Lighting: 2 x 250 watt Quartz-halogen lamp units. The control is On/Low/Medium/Full.
Power requirements: Input 230VAC, 50/60 Hz, 10 kVA, single or 3-phase. On-board user power available — instrumentation 24 VDC, auxiliary power at up to 400 VDC.
Umbilical cable: A supple, rugged cable, designed for harsh ocean environment with a 1,000 lbs. working load: neutrally buoyant in fresh water, diam. 0.6 in (16 mm); or optional smaller diameter without floatation jacket (heavy) at 0.5 in. (12.5 mm).
