Startup unveils underwater drone designed for protecting undersea cables — small drone dives to 1,640 feet, comes with four-hour battery endurance or unlimited range when tethered to surface power source
A startup has introduced an AI-powered underwater drone called the SU10, designed for the protection of undersea cables. This drone can operate at depths of up to 1,640 feet and has a battery life of four hours, but can extend its range indefinitely when tethered to a surface power source. The SU10 features advanced software that allows it to coordinate with other drones, enhancing its operational capabilities.
- ▪The SU10 can dive to depths of 1,640 feet and carry a payload of 22 pounds.
- ▪It operates independently for four hours or indefinitely when tethered to a surface vessel.
- ▪The drone's autonomous software allows it to coordinate with other drones for complex operations.
