The NemoSens is a highly versatile autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) designed for a range of scientific, industrial, and defense applications. Its lightweight and modular design, coupled with an open LINUX architecture, allows users to develop their own navigation algorithm for greater flexibility and maximum use.

One of the key features of the NemoSens is its swarm technology, which enables users to deploy multiple AUVs for extended mission coverage. The vehicle is also compatible with the full range of RTsys products, such as the SonaDive diver-held systems or beacons.

The NemoSens boasts the latest hardware and software upgrades from the RTsys product range, making it the most efficient and reliable micro AUV of its generation. Software functions and measurement sensors (within a 2 kg limit) can be added on demand, making it highly adaptable to different missions.

Navigation capabilities of the NemoSens include a maximum operational depth of 300 meters, a speed range of 2 to 8 knots, and an endurance of more than 10 hours. Its dimensions are compact, with a length of 895 mm, a diameter of 124 mm, and a weight of less than 9 kg.

It can be launched and recovered from a lightweight boat or from the shore, and its movements can be tracked via acoustic communication throughout its mission.
