This project was to integrate our disposal equipment onto the AUV.
The head of this AUV is interchangeable, different disposal heads were required depending on the position and location of the unexploded ordnance (UXO).
A nail-on disposal head was designed using the existing nail-on disruptor and a new lightweight float. This was used for exposed UXOs.
A MDC disposal head was designed using multiple existing linear charges to create a larger charge and a new lightweight float. This was used for buried UXOs.
Skills for these project:
- 3D Modelling (SolidWorks).
- Sheet metal.
- Fabrication.
- Calculations.
- Testing.
- Mechanical systems.
From R&D work a diver deterrent method was designed and tested. We created conceptual models of the diver deterrent attached to the ROVs and produced renders. This was to showcase to companies we work with our new product.
