About the Tesla Offshore Bluefin-21 AUV
Nothing more clearly symbolizes the development of Tesla Offshore in these past 10 years than the addition of deepwater AUV services to its list of offerings. The Tesla Bluefin-21 AUV is a highly efficient untethered solution that enables full sensor suite operations at depths up to 4,500
meters, while maintaining the portability and flexibility necessary for deployment from vessels of opportunity worldwide.
The unique sensor suite onboard Tesla Offshore's AUV has been chosen to exceed the data quality, resolution and swath width of what is typically made available to today's deepwater survey customers. The system is the first AUV in the industry to boast a state-of-the-art synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) produced by Raytheon Applied Signal Technology. The PROSAS® Surveyor provides decimetric imaging resolution across swath ranges up to 450 meters per side, leading to increased survey efficiency at depth. Also included are broadband multibeam echosounder, chirp sub-bottom profiler, and a very high definition digital still camera.
