Singapore Technologies (ST) Electronics completed development of its Mercury autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in mid-2016, Jane's has learnt during the IMDEX 2017 exhibition in Singapore.
Formerly known by its development name of Meredith, the 500 kg-class Mercury AUV is a modular, mid-weight AUV that is the result of a joint effort between DSO National Laboratories and ST Electronics to develop an underwater robot capable of providing high-quality seabed data for mine countermeasure (MCM) operations.
"We are deliberately keeping the overall weight under 1 tonne so that it can be deployed easily from shore or any craft of opportunity without complicated and expensive handling equipment," a company spokesperson told Jane's.
The example on display at IMDEX measures approximately 5 m in length and comprises the following components: the nose cone, which houses a forward-looking sonar; the configurable payload module that is currently equipped with a Thales synthetic aperture and mine detection imagery sonar (SAMDIS); the mission module that contains the autonomy, communications, navigation, safety, and processing systems; the battery module; and finally the propulsion module where a modified commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) thruster, optimised for efficiency, resides.
According to ST Electronics, another potential payload could be a dual-frequency synthetic aperture sonar. While no details of this particular system were revealed, Jane's earlier reported that DSO National Laboratories is collaborating with the locally based Microfine Materials Technologies to develop dual-imaging frequency techniques using indigenously developed piezoelectric crystal technology.
The Mercury AUV is outfitted with a global positioning system (GPS), an inertial navigation system (INS), and a Doppler velocity log (DVL). When operating in GPS-denied environments, the vehicle is claimed to be capable of navigating with a margin of error of 1 m for every kilometre travelled.
Jane's was briefed that the vehicle has an endurance of 14 hours at an average speed of 3 kt when equipped with a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery.

Kita punya yang kayak ginian...sotong AUV..gimana ya perkembangannya ??
BalasHapusPunya om,kemarin dah disertifikasi kemenhan si sotong AUV
HapusIya...terus dibeli gak sama kemenhan om ?? Tapi speknya masih sadis diatas ya

HapusSingapore mirip korea selatan dari sumber manusianya buatan america semua alias sudah di desain jadi negara boneka mede in barat .
BalasHapusMuarif@ Korea utara,veitnam laos sudah di desain unisoviet enggak broo

Hapuswah..ada yg kesalip singapore ni...silap silap singapore duluan bangun stealth fighter...wakakakakak...
BalasHapusTerus malon duluan bangun otak setaraf toilet stealth ya Wkwkwk...beginilah kalo otak cem toilet penuh najis dan sampah Wkwkwk...bangga sama karya bangsa lain kerana tak ada yg dibanggakan dari bangsanya sendiri Wkwkwk...yg dapat dibanggakan dari bangsanya sendiri malay yaitu otak setaraf toilet yg penuh sampah dan najis Wkwkwk
Hapuswakakaka...panas ke bro..wakakaka..
BalasHapusST marine sudah bisa design frigate sendiri loh...jadi bukan PT Pal yg pertama bisa buat sendiri kapal perang..tap ST marine...
lebih baik target 0% berak di sungai 2019 itu di kejar dulu...wakakakaka...
panas...panas...panas...
PT PAL bina frigate SIGMA,LPD,tanker 50 ribu ton,submarine,patrol aircraft....PT DI bina CN235,CN212,N219,N245...PINDAD bina rifle,amunition,medium tank,panser....DEFTECH,CRM,BOUSTED tak boleh bina apa2,cuma boleh painting dan ganti stiker buatan tempatan Wkwkwk...Cem ni lah otak toilet tak tahu apa2 seperti katak di bawah tempurung Wkwkwk....tong kosong nyaring bunyinya Wkwkwk...Om bayar utangnya om biar boleh beli sparepart sukhoi Wkwkwk...panas,panas saya dan iri hati Wkwkwk
HapusTakde yg dibahas laen kecuali toilet. Padahal kita menunggu sangat si paneroka bahas frigate2,kapal selam,rifle binaan negara korang nie.. Toiletny di bahas di istana negara korang je..LA..
BalasHapusBiasalah bro otaknya cem toilet tak tahu apa2 Wkwkwk
HapusMasih aja ada yg terprovokasi anak peroka wkwkwk, anak peroka ini org indonesia ,bukan orang malaysia .
