Introducing an advanced underwater probe that revolutionizes maritime capabilities for search and surveillance. This compact cylindrical marvel, with a diameter under 50 cm, features a camera, light source, and an array of sensors for depth, pressure, temperature, magnetic compass, and audio frequencies. Controlled via a hanging wire, it seamlessly operates at depths up to 500 meters, facilitating critical data collection. Equipped with auto-resurfacing features for safety, this probe ensures responsiveness during emergencies or control loss. This cutting-edge solution empowers maritime surface platforms with unparalleled underwater exploration and reconnaissance capabilities.
The U-SI-U is an innovative underwater solution designed specifically for surveillance and imaging. Its attachment module facilitates easy deployment on a mothership, requiring minimal additional mechanical work. The gimbal system allows for rapid deployment and withdrawal, providing a 360-degree view with a 3D perspective. Housed within a corrosion-resistant spherical shell, the camera and sensors offer durability and integrity. The modular design requires minimal maintenance and features sensor redundancy for continuous operation.
Beyond addressing current challenges, the U-SI-U paves the way for researching 3D printing larger submersibles, enhancing India’s marine manufacturing capabilities.
The design centers around a sensor array housed in a 3D-printed spherical shell for secure casing, streamlining production, accelerating prototyping, and enabling material testing. The sphere’s structural integrity is well-suited for handling underwater pressures. Internal carvings accommodate various sensors and systems, fostering adaptability and ease of modification. Controlled by servos, the housing arms enable angular positioning, while safety features include buoyancy control and data security.
The U-SI-U combines cutting-edge technology with robust safety features, offering a comprehensive solution for underwater surveillance and imaging, with potential implications for broader marine manufacturing.
