- They’re sometimes also utilized in more secretive applications, such as surveillance and reconnaissance.
- Even though some AUVs are capable of travelling deep underwater for days at a time, they still have to surface whenever it’s time to transmit gathered data to their users – this is because radio waves don’t travel well through the water.
- The micro-AUV allows the Solus-LR to transmit data without surfacing, as the smaller craft can be deployed by the larger one while it’s still submerged.
