Charles River Analytics and Teledyne Gavia announce automated target recognition options for gavia vehicles
Teledyne Gavia, a global leader in the manufacture of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), has introduced Charles River Analytics’ AutoTRap Onboard™ AI-based object detection software as a new capability onboard their Gavia marine vehicles. As underwater operations become more complex and dangerous, AI tech has emerged as the clear solution for delivering the consistent and accurate results that have proven elusive until now due to the challenges of ever-changing marine environments. Enter AutoTRap Onboard—a smart, real-time automated target recognition (ATR) app offered by Charles River Analytics.
The new partnership with Teledyne Gavia expands the boundaries for underwater unmanned sonar operation. Now, operators can acquire Teledyne Gavia’s best-in-class unmanned underwater vehicles with AutoTRap Onboard software inside.“AutoTRap Onboard automatically detects and identifies target objects in real time,” said Dr. Arjuna Balasuriya, Senior Scientist at Charles River Analytics. “This product saves time and money— operators don’t have to bring the vehicle to the surface, download its data, and then send it back down for further investigation (if necessary). With Teledyne Gavia, we offer our customers a better experience, giving them confidence that the area is clear and it’s safe to operate.”Bob Melvin, Vice President of Engineering at Teledyne Marine Systems, added, “Our customers have been asking us for a reliable way to carry out seafloor surveys, such as mine hunting. AutoTRap Onboard makes finding these targets of interest much easier and builds higher levels of confidence in AI systems.”
In environments that are challenging for target detection, AutoTRap Onboard has demonstrated excellent detection rates and false positive rates; identifying truncated conical objects on a rocky volcanic seafloor with a 90% probability of detection.
AI software must perform as expected despite constant variations in the deployment environment. AutoTRap Onboard has been designed with a versatile architecture that is robust across different environments, new sensor types, and changing mission goals.
AutoTRap Onboard includes:
- Target Detector and Target Classifier – Novel machine learning algorithms that process sonar images to detect, classify, and localize targets of interest.
- Target Library – Collection of trained targets. The Target Detector searches for these targets in the sonar image.
AutoTRap is part of the rich suite of ATR products offered by Charles River Analytics.
“Our commercial partners and customers—like Teledyne GAVIA—have various autodetection and recognition needs. Some must locate and classify objects on the seafloor (e.g., shipping containers lost at sea), while others must find or track objects on the ground, in the sky, or in space,” explained Dr. Elaine B. Coleman, Vice President of Commercialization at Charles River Analytics. To detect the wide range of objects relevant to ocean surveys, AutoTrap Onboard can learn new objects by training on new target profiles as they are added to the Target Library. Charles River Analytics develops leading-edge software by combining agile innovation with robust engineering, applying experience derived from decades of designing solutions for austere environments. Our ATR app is developed, integrated, and deployed on market-leading AUVs offered by Teledyne Gavia. Customers can now leverage our joint expertise.

Valeport launches next generation of sensors for subsea survey and ROV/AUV operations
Valeport, a leading manufacturer of oceanographic and hydrographic instrumentation has further expanded its portfolio’s capability with the launch of two new sensors for ROVs/AUVs and subsea survey.
Valeport has launched the new miniIPS2 and new uvSVX which both offer operationally specific interchangeable pressure transducers that deliver enhanced accuracy for specific depth ranges. These field-swappable sensor heads make it easy for users to select the correct pressure range for their work and offer increased accuracy at any depth, alongside streamlining benefits to users who previously required different instruments for shallow and deep water.
The smart miniIPS2 underwater pressure sensor with accuracy to 0.01%, offers a cost-effective solution to vehicle pilots who require highly accurate depth information in real time. Key to the design is the unique interchangeable pressure module that allows users to change pressure transducers for maximising operational specific depth requirements. This innovative pressure module, with integral calibration, can be easily changed in a couple of minutes without opening the instrument and is available in 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 600bar variants.
The pressure sensor module fitted to the miniIPS is a temperature compensated piezo-resistive sensor which delivers the performance previously only available from resonant quartz sensor at a more cost-effective price. It also brings the added advantages of long-term stability, allowing longer intervals between calibration, and a smaller and more robust construction; complex and vulnerable arrangements of diaphragms and oil filled capillaries and reservoirs are therefore no longer necessary. The miniIPS2 is compatible with Valeport’s MIDAS BathyPack and BathyLog software, allowing the depth data to be continually updated for Density variations in the water column.
Designed for underwater vehicles where space is at a premium, the compact uvSVX features Valeport’s Time of Flight technology and delivers salinity, conductivity and density data, along with SVP as standard. High accuracy data is assured with the addition of Valeport’s unique interchangeable pressure module that allows users to maximise operational specific depth requirements. This advanced pressure module, with integral calibration, is quickly and easily changed whilst in the field, with no tools required and without opening the instrument. Delivering 0.01% accuracy, the interchangeable pressure transducer is available in 10, 20,30, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 600bar variants.
Using the latest developments in digital sensor technology the new uvSVX is lightweight and housed in a titanium with a depth rating of 6000m and delivers a reliably accurate performance under all conditions.
For more than fifty years Valeport has been committed to pushing the boundaries of marine instrumentation to deliver ultimate accuracy, as Guy Frankland head of marketing commented: “The new interchangeable pressure modules on both these instruments are a unique combination of exceptional reliability and precision accuracy with an enhanced and efficient user experience and makes them ideally suited to innovative underwater vehicles.”
The new miniIPS2 and uvSVX are now available to order. For more information contact: [email protected] www.valeport.co.uk
Royal Canadian Navy embarks with OFG on the demonstration of a mobile range with AUVs for warship signature management
OFG will deploy its Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) non-contact integrated Cathodic Protection (iCP) system and Self-Compensating Magnetometer (SCM) systems for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) for a demonstration of a mobile magnetic signature range.
Ocean Floor Geophysics Inc. (OFG) is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to test SCMs and its Underwater Electric Potential (UEP) system on an AUV to measure and model the magnetic and electric signatures of a non-combatant training vessel provided by the RCN. These systems are already deployed commercially by OFG as part of its AUV non-contact integrated Cathodic Protection (iCP) inspection system for subsea pipeline and structure inspection by AUV.
The results of the tests will be used to evaluate several scenarios to complement and extend current vessel signature measurement capabilities. Some scenarios contemplated by OFG include taking the range to the ship instead of the ship to the range, ranging for deployed unit to avoid costly detours and delays, and “quick looks” for suspected faults in degaussing systems, and the potential for use as part of an automated ship signature management system.
The data will be collected by OFG sensors integrated with the SOLUS-LR AUV, a long range AUV capable of long-range port to port missions, built by Cellula Robotics Ltd (CRL). In addition to sensor integration, CRL will provide engineering services, a remote operations piloting control centre, and their AUV support vessel Ranger for the field trials. The contract was awarded by Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) and will be executed under the supervision of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN).
Matthew Kowalczyk CEO of OFG stated “Adapting our industry proven SCM and iCP systems from AUV non-contact cathodic protection pipeline inspection to a warship signature management program is a great example of OFG’s expertise in marine magnetic and electric field measurement systems. The commitment of the Royal Canadian Navy to test the AUV SCMs in this application is a concrete example of Canada’s defence policy, Strong, Secure, Engaged through their support of innovative Canadian people and companies.”

Ocean Business Celebrates International Success with Almost Half its Visitors from Abroad
Ocean Business 2019, which took place at the NOC in Southampton from 9-11 April, has broken attendance records again with the greatest number of exhibitors, visitors and international representation yet. The show has become a landmark international event with a staggering 41% of all visitors coming from outside the UK.
Ocean Business’ Event Director, Cheri Arvonio, comments, “We are delighted with the success of this year’s show. With such a great representation from international exhibitors and visitors, the show really has been recognised as the global ocean technology event of the year. We had some outstanding training and demonstrations, with autonomous vehicles being a particular highlight. To accommodate all of these vehicles, we fitted an extra pontoon this year and this proved an essential feature with so much dockside activity. Once again, show on show, we are inundated with positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors.”
With over 360 international exhibitors, this was the biggest exhibition at Ocean Business yet. This growth was matched by the number of visitors which was up 5% on the previous show, with 4674 attendees across the 3 days. These visitors came from 69 different countries around the world - further demonstrating the show’s international success.
Ocean Business certainly did not disappoint when it came to networking and co-located events, with Phil Johnston, BD at Autonaut saying, “Ocean Business is not only the best event in our calendar, but also the most enjoyable! A great balance of clients, collaborators, suppliers and everybody with a keen interest in ocean technology.” Highlights of the co-located events programme included Enterprise Europe’s B2B business matchmaking event, the ATLAS workshop, Marine South East’s innovation-focused event, and a number of sessions presented by the NOC.
The sixth Offshore Survey conference also received much praise from delegates, with Vivian R. A. Mason, MD at Geomatics Engineering & Surveying Solutions, commenting, “This was my first time at an Ocean Business conference, and most definitely will not be my last.”
As well as the many high profile meetings and associated events, Ocean Business hosted a special reception to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the date that the UK’s National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) came in to being. The NIO was later absorbed in to the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences which became the National Oceanography Centre. Versha Carter, Group Director of Ocean Business stated ‘It was our honour to host a number of prestigious guests who were at the forefront of oceanographic research many years ago. It was particularly touching to witness the respect that these scientists and researchers still hold with some of today’s esteemed professionals.’ A special thank you to Ed Hill who made a special address to the delegation and assisted with the official cake cutting ceremony’

Several companies have already requested to book their stand for the next Ocean Business show, taking place in 2021. Full details about dates and stand availability will be released in the next few weeks.
Local Companies Lead Innovation at Ocean Business 2019 with Advanced Unmanned Sea Vehicles
Ocean Business 2019, the world's biggest ocean technology event this year, will be taking place in Southampton next week from 9-11 April. The show is a global stage for the latest sea technology innovations and we are delighted to announce that two of the most exciting product demonstrations will be coming from local Hampshire companies.
Cheri Arvoni, Ocean Business Event Manager explains, "There is no doubt that sea technology this year is dominated by unmanned boats and underwater vehicles. In fact, we had to build an extra floating pontoon to accommodate all these products at the show! But of great excitement to us is the fact that two local companies, Sonardyne and L3 Technologies, will be demonstrating a world-first combination of Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology on the dockside."
With over 5000 visitors expected at the show, from more than 65 countries, Portchester based L3 Technologies and Yately based Sonardyne have worked together to present one of the most advanced combinations of ASV and ROV technologies in the world. Their futuristic products offer a solution for underwater inspection in the most dangerous coastal or offshore environments such as hazardous oil and gas surveys, environmentally challenging scientific missions, or for military and security purposes.
The companies will be offering dockside demonstrations to show how missions can be conducted entirely by remote control. L3's unmanned surface boat, a C-Worker 7 ASV, will demonstrate how it can deploy and operate an ROV to carry out underwater inspections and measurements. In this case, the demo will show a vertical and horizontal subsea inspection of the Empress Dock in Southampton. Sonardyne will be showcasing their sophisticated tracking and telemetry control software, as well as solutions for navigation and data recovery in unmanned over-the-horizon operations.
With its pioneering subsea communications technology, BlueComm, Sonardyne recently streamed the world’s first live broadcast direct to global audiences from underwater submersibles in the Seychelles. This was broadcast by Associated Press, Sky News and Sky Atlantic, in effect enabling the general public to join the scientists in a mission to explore the least known areas of the Indian Ocean as part of the Nekton Deep Ocean Research Institute’s First Descent expedition.
With over 360 exhibitors at Ocean Business this year, there are a multitude of other exciting demos of unmanned surface and underwater vehicles from international companies including: Kongsberg Maritime who will be showcasing their GeoPulse Sub-Bottom Profiler Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), designed to map the geology of oceans; and dotOcean with their Cloud linked Autonomous Surface Vehicle technology to control multiple ASVs (forming ASV 'swarms').
Ms Arvonio continued, “Visually, there will be non-stop action at the show, especially on the dockside. As a landmark international event, we feel we are presenting the very best globally, and will be expecting around 65 countries to be represented at the show.”
Ocean Business promises to be an incredible global show offering the very latest technologies, water-based demonstrations and learning opportunities, as well as Offshore Survey conference, Ocean Careers, and high profile international associated industry events. Ocean Business will take place from 9-11 April 2019 at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.
