A.IKANBILIS HYBRID AUV/ROV

A.Ikanbilis: The Intelligent Hybrid AUV/ROV for Defence and Security

A.Ikanbilis represents a significant advancement in underwater robotics, combining the autonomy of an AUV with the precise control of an ROV. This innovative hybrid design, coupled with cutting-edge AI, precision navigation, and adaptable sensor payloads, makes A.Ikanbilis the superior tool for safeguarding strategic ports, inspecting vessel hulls, and enhancing situational awareness in complex underwater scenarios. Its reduced reliance on tethers and enhanced autonomy offers significant advantages over traditional ROV systems.

A.Ikanbilis: Autonomous underwater vehicle for port security, hull inspections, and covert surveillance. Enhanced situational awareness in challenging maritime environments.

PORT SECURITY

A.Ikanbilis autonomously patrols and scans harbour floors, detecting anomalies, changes, underwater threats (such as mines or improvised explosive devices), and intrusions in real time. Its unmatched precision and data reliability empower faster, smarter decisions for port security personnel. This autonomous patrol capability allows for consistent monitoring, freeing up human resources for other critical tasks.

HYBRID AUV/ROV, AI-DRIVEN AUTONOMY, REDUCED TETHER RELIANCE

UNDERHULL INSPECTIONS

Designed for efficiency and 100% coverage, A.Ikanbilis performs detailed underhull scans with high-resolution imaging and sonar, quickly identifying structural issues, hull integrity problems, or potential sabotage faster and more effectively than traditional diver-based methods. Its autonomous capabilities eliminate the need for divers, significantly reducing risk to personnel and saving valuable time and resources.

MISSION FLEXIBILITY

Easily deployable from various platforms, including USVs such as T24, A.Ikanbilis adapts to a wide range of defence and security missions, both at home and with forward-deployed forces. Its modular design supports a variety of customisable payloads, including high-resolution cameras, sonar systems (multibeam, side-scan), corrosion and environmental sensors, and other specialised equipment, allowing it to be configured for specific mission requirements.

ENGINEERED FOR RESILIENCE AND PERFORMANCE

With fewer cables than traditional ROVs, reduced human intervention, and AI-driven autonomy, A.Ikanbilis is lightweight, efficient, and ready for rapid, expeditionary deployment. Engineered for resilience and reliability, it operates effectively in the toughest underwater conditions, delivering real-time underwater intelligence where it matters most. Its hybrid AUV/ROV design allows it to transition seamlessly between autonomous survey modes and precise, remotely operated inspection tasks. This combination of autonomy and control provides superior operational flexibility.

A.Ikanbilis: Precision. Autonomy. Superiority. For Uncompromising Underwater Missions.
