    UTAS Explorer AUV

    ISE’s Explorer family of AUVs are the result of 35 years of AUV development and provide unprecedented stability and
    adaptability for subsea survey missions. Explorers are outfitted with forward and aft control planes, providing unmatched
    stability and delivering high quality data in the most challenging environments. The Explorer also offers the largest dry
    payload volume in its class – allowing for simple integration of payloads and electronics. Explorer is the most effective
    tool for delivering your payload to the ocean floor, anywhere on the planet.
