At NAVDEX 2015 Portuguese Company OceanScan Showcased its LAUV Underwater Vehicle
 
At NAVDEX 2015, OceanScan – Marine Systems & Technology Lda of Portugal showcased its LAUV. The LAUV is a Lightweight (one-man-portable) Autonomous Underwater Vehicle designed to be affordable as it requires only limited logistics. Based on a modular design, the platform is built to be robust and reliable.
     
At NAVDEX 2015, Northrop Grumman Corporation was showcasing its AN/AES-1 Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS). Navy Recognition learned that the US defense company is actively marketing its innovating mine detection system to counties in the Gulf region because of emmerging needs in mine warfare capabilities.

LAUV operation does not require extensive training as it can be easily launched, operated and recovered with minimal setup.

LAUV is an affordable, innovative, highly operational and effective surveying tool. Developed by the Laboratório de Sistemas e Tecnologia Subaquática from Porto University, one of the leading underwater robotics laboratories in Europe. It has been further developed in cooperation with OceanScan.

The LAUV system has been deployed and operated in different places and environments, accumulating thousands of hours of real-world operation. Its application comprehends a wide spectrum of scenarios.

Typical applications of OceanScan LAUV:
Mine Counter Measures (MCM)
Security & Surveillance
Search & Recovery
Underwater Archeology
Pipeline Inspection
Hydrographic Surveys
Near-Synoptic Oceanographic Observations
Plume Mapping
Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA)
Pre/Post Dredging Bottom Mapping
Academic Research

Navy Recognition learned that OceanScan's LAUV is already used by the Portuguese Navy.
