Marlin? Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Marlin? AUV: Better, faster, safer and more economical subsea inspections Drawing upon decades of experience in developing advanced manned and unmanned underwater technology solutions, Lockheed Martin has developed the highly-advanced Marlin? Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for customers who conduct subsea infrastructure surveys and inspections. Using the Marlin AUV to inspect offshore structures offers a compelling value proposition for the oil and gas industry by providing better, faster, safer and more economical inspections compared to traditional methods. The Marlin AUV’s unique 3D imaging sonar, advanced sensors, software and navigation capability allow operators to conduct offshore structure inspections up to four times faster and significantly less expensive than other methods, while putting fewer divers at risk. Operated from a small utility class vessel or from a fixed or floating platform, the Marlin AUV performs inspections autonomously. Its movement is guided by a high-level mission plan generated by either shore-based or offshore personnel. For vehicle launch and recovery, the Marlin AUV uses a patented autonomous homing and docking system that releases and recovers the vehicle underwater, eliminating dangerous surface launch and recovery. 5 ft (1.52 m)DiameterThe Marlin AUV’s high-resolution optical and acoustic sensors provide complete and integrated 3-D geo-referenced images. It models up to 1,000 feet beneath the surface and rapidly inspects offshore structures in a fraction of the time required for a remotely operated vehicle or diver 5 ft (1.52 m) Diameter Length10 ft (3.05 Length 10 ft (3.05 m) Marlin Autonomy The Marlin AUV’s autonomy is comprised of three components: Vehicle Control, Perception and Response. Vehicle Control Manages the navigation system, communications, vehicle health, as well as safety and emergency response. Perception Enables the vehicle to be aware of its current environme
