| Main activity | Autonomous underwater robot with the capacity to carry out dives with no physical link with the surface vessel to a depth of 6,000 metres, with an autonomy duration of 24 to 48 hours. Establishes maps and provides high-resolution data. Navigation functionalities and new instrumental loads. Capable of multi-scale observation: it can both see from afar and study up close thanks to the high-resolution camera. It is equipped with acoustic mapping equipment for large-scale observation, such as the multibeam echosounder, the SAS (Synthetic Aperture Sonar) imaging sonar and the sediment sounder. It also has a set of sensors for measuring physical and chemical water parameters, methane or oxygen concentrations, acidity, etc. and for detecting magnetic field anomalies. |

Ifremer A pioneer in ocean science, IFREMER's cutting-edge research is grounded in sustainable development and open science.His vision is to advance science, expertise and innovation to protect and restore the ocean, sustainably use marine resources to benefit societ, create and share ocean data, information & knowledge. With more than 1,500 personnel spread along the French coastline in more than 20 sites, the institute explores the 3 great oceans: the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Founded in 1984, IFREMER is a French public organization and its budget approximates 240 million euros. It is operating under the joint authority of the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, the French Ministry for the Ecological and Solidary Transition, and the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food. |
