A closer look at the products, services, operating features, and documented applications that shape the organization’s role.
Underwater vehicle sensing
Compact AUV perception sensor suite
What it enables
eSonar describes a low-footprint perception suite for underwater vehicles, including micro-AUVs. Bottom-tracking, obstacle and surfacing-clearance sensing aim to provide immediate situational information alongside the vehicle’s survey work; public material does not identify a completed naval mine-countermeasure installation.

Questions for a first conversation
Which AUV platforms have completed integration and acceptance testing of the compact perception suite?
The 2023 funded team and current product description establish a development route, but platform-specific trial results would distinguish available modules from integration work still required.
