YUCO-SCAN

YUCO-Scan micro-AUV just make AUV technology accessible. Using YUCO-Scan is certainly nowadays one of the most simple and cost-effective way to perform bathymetric surveys.
Equipped with a 680kHz Side Scan Sonar from DeepVision YUCO-Scan provide with a great quality of image with high-stability, accurate navigation and capable of managing coastal areas with waves and current.
YUCO-scan can be combined with optional video and light providing a complete underwater vision package and leading the way to new uses in bathymetric survey or photogrammetry.
With an autonomy up to 8 hours, and speed up to 6knots, and depth rated at 300m.
Thanks to the INX navigation and DVL YUCO-Scan is able to achieve navigation accuracy better than +/-1% without requiring any external elements sur as acoustic telemetry.
This is one of the advantages that makes SEABER underwater vehicle so unique, accurate navigation, ease of use, great autonomy and a real single person deployment no external acoustic tool required.
SEAPLAN software provides an ideal and versatile interface for the YUCO-Scan micro-AUV and have pre-defined lawn-mover patterns to make a swift scan mission.
Thanks to its mission programming savings and updates, SEAPLAN facilitates discovery of new area as well as repetitive mission in similar locations.
DeepVision Side Scan Sonar software provides easy access to data visualization.
YUCO-Scan is provided with all the necessary functions to be ready-to-deploy :
- INX Navigation system
- DVL
- SEAPLAN Software
- Embedded rechargeable batteries
- RELOC
- Field case and accessories

YUCO-CTD

YUCO-CTD is the ideal tool to monitor accurately salinity and temperature in ocean, coastal environment and lakes.
The CT sensor RBR Legato, is suited on the top of the YUCO micro-AUV to ensure best measurement in flow. An optional DVL can be used in option for greater navigation accuracy in current area.
SEAPLAN software proposes various navigation modes that are ideal to target specific information in the water:
- Saw-tooth navigation pattern, is ideal to make profiles on long-distance
- Shutdown surfacing vertical profile
- Fixed altitude from bottom using DVL (in option) and specific navigation mode to maintain a distance from the seafloor.
- Fixed depth from surface using pressure sensor
With the payload YUCO-CTD micro-AUV as an autonomy up to 10 hours.
Additional sensors as dissolved oxygen and fluorimeter can be added to the CT sensor.
YUCO-CTD underwater vehicle is ideally fitter for costal monitoring or lake monitoring that require to go often at site even for single person deployments.
YUCO-CTD is provide with all the necessary functions to be ready-to-deploy :
- INX Navigation system
- SEAPLAN Software
- Embedded rechargeable batteries
- RELOC
- Field case and accessories
- DVL (in option)

YUCO-PAM

YUCO PAM is an innovative autonomous solution for passive acoustic monitoring.
Instead of a mounted hydrophone it is a fully autonomous recorder that is embedded in the YUCO-PAM micro-AUV.
YUCO-PAM is micro-AUV is equipped with Porpoise recorder from RsAqua. With a selectable sampling rates up to 384kHz and storage capacity up to 4TB. The Porpoise recorder can be whether programmed separately or triggered by AUV and can synchronize its recordings with the YUCO-PAM.
Therefore, YUCO-PAM micro-AUV is capable of monitoring whether anthropogenic noise such as pile driving, ships, as well as monitoring marine mammal even in the high frequencies such as the harbour porpoises.
Thanks to the SEAPLAN software developed by SEABER, a varied number of navigation patterns adapted to noise monitoring can be used.
YUCO-PAM micro-AUV is whether capable of performing continuous noise recording while it navigates. It is also capable on specific mode to perform “silent” recordings at determined locations. It can also resurface and take GPS position of each of its recordings. Thanks to its embedded pressure sensor and DVL (optional) YUCO-PAM underwater vehicle can also keep its positions at fixed depth or altitude.
Thanks to its autonomy up to 10hours and speed from 2 to 6 knots YUCO-PAM micro-AUV is capable of achieving long runs in full autonomy even in current area.
Finally, whereas some other solutions, YUCO-PAM embedded INX navigation system allows it to navigate accurately without requiring external elements. This makes it ideal and totally silent for noise recording.
YUCO-PAM is provided with all the necessary functions to be ready-to-deploy :
- INX Navigation system
- SEAPLAN Software
- Embedded rechargeable batteries
- RELOC
- Field case and accessories

YUCO-PHYSICO

YUCO-PHYSICO micro-AUV is a game changer in water-quality monitoring. It offers the most versatile solution to monitor physico-chemical parameters in varied depth and great superficies.
Instead of single or a couple of sensors, it is a fully autonomous multiparameter sonde than the YUCO-PHYSICO micro-AUV is embedding. Any sensor from the sonde manufacturer proposed range can be used on YUCO-PHYSICO micro-AUV, such as, Sound Velocity, Condicitivty, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, pH, Chlorophyll A, Crude-oil, etc.)
YUCO-PHYSICO has great manoeuvrability even in very narrow and shallow waters makes it ideal to monitor micro-structures. An optional DVL can be used in option for greater navigation accuracy in current area.
Easy to use SEAPLAN software proposes numerous navigation modes that are ideal to get expected measurement in the water with YUCO-PHYSICO micro-AUV.
On the one hand it provides possibility to interchange the different water quality sensors from the sonde.
On the other hand, YUCO-MultiSonde micro-AUV gives the possibility to remove and re-install the multiparameter sonde from the underwater vehicle and use it, for manual profiles for example.
