About Bedrock AUV
Bedrock’s autonomous underwater survey platform carries multibeam, side-scan, magnetometer and sub-bottom-profiler sensors for nearshore geophysical and hydrographic work. An integrated INS-DVL navigation system supports repeatable positioning, while onboard processing performs survey-quality checks and initial data preparation during the mission.
Several vehicles can be deployed from locally available vessels and supervised through Bedrock’s remote operations architecture. Trident manages mission command and vehicle status, and Mosaic distributes processed seabed data to project teams. The platform supports offshore energy, ports, subsea infrastructure and defence-domain awareness.
