About International Submarine Engineering
Send autonomous systems farther into difficult underwater environments. International Submarine Engineering designs configurable AUVs and ROVs in British Columbia for scientific, commercial, and military missions.
Operating context
International Submarine Engineering supplies configurable underwater vehicles from Port Coquitlam. Explorer combines a modular pressure hull and wet payload space with INS/DVL navigation and Ethernet sensor integration; separate configurations span 300–6,000 m depth. The company names delivered scientific users including Ifremer, NOAA/university operators, Memorial University and NRCan. Its historic extended under-ice operation included submerged charging and data transfer, so the mission duration should not be read as single-charge endurance. Current docking work with Dalhousie and IDEaS remains a development project. Theseus supplies a separate historical cable-laying reference: the company describes that DND-owned vehicle as stored and available for charter, not a newly deployed fleet.
