Oi '22 Gains Traction for Live Exhibition in March
usage, according to Oda Ryggen, Chief Commercial Officer: “The new Blueye X3 is a neat and handy vehicle with mighty capabilities. Four 350W thrusters power the vehicle at up to 3 knots underwater. The X3 has up to five hours' range and is fitted with three guest ports supporting eight communication protocols. The ROV’s abilities can hence be extended with a wide range of external equipment including sensors, manipulators, grippers, DVLs, altimeters and sonars.”With the launch of the commercially very capable X3, the company remains true to its original ethos, expressed by Ryggen:

of this new model - it's not just a camera unit but can be used as a sensorcarrying platform," said Jørgen Berge, Professor, Dept. Arctic and Marine Biology, University of Tromsø.Some features of the new X3 model include:Three Guest Ports supporting eight different communication protocols for integrating external equipment.Software integration in the Blueye App for grippers and manipulators.Support for navigation and positioning systems such as Waterlinked DVL and GPS, and different sonars from Blue Robotics, Impact Subsea, and Blueprint Subsea.Blueye External-Camera and
JANUS: First Digital Underwater Communication Standard
CMRE underwater communication protocol JANUS becomes a NATO Standard, the first time ever for a digital underwater communication protocol to be recognized at international level Aerial and terrestrial communication methods do not work well underwater. Therefore, none of the available communication protocols could be easily exported under the sea surface to work with and enhance capabilities of new game-changing robotic technologies. That is why the NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), based in La Spezia (Italy), has started about 10 years ago to develop a digital
Van Oord First to Adopt Tritech Gemini
; With real-time visualization and a fast update rate of 30 Hz across a 120 degree field-of-view, the new Gemini 720is regenerates in a new body shape with the latest electronics and features an integrated velocity of sound sensor and near-range focus. Communication protocols are Ethernet communications as standard (VDSL and dual communication units are also available) and the standalone Gemini software offers basic target tracking capabilities, including SeeByte advanced target tracking. Vanessa Venida, Chief Surveyor, commented: “We tested the

can be used to manage any number of systems including pumps, bilges, carbon dioxide detectors, smoke detectors and actuators, to name a few. They can even be set up to automatically take corrective action. The system is structured on an Ethernet-based platform and supports most standard industry communication protocols and remote I/O, which facilitates easy connection to third-party systems and hardware. Users can interact with the IVMS system using interfacepanels, PC based touchscreens, and remote VPN connectivity to access information such as historical logging, trending and reporting to allow owners

less than would be incurred for a research ship or manned aircraft mission. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who make unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually provide the vehicle, control station, software and communication protocols, which are almost always unique to that system. As technology and the market mature, there is a growing demand for flexibility to adapt systems for different missions, operate different systems from a common control station and upgrade them easily when new and innovative applications become
