NARVAL 1006

Missions such as exploration, observation, mapping, intelligence, defence and research can be performed at the same time!

Narval 1006 is an autonomous underwater vehicle that is developed for gathering long term data in changing depths from deep oceans to shallow waters with the ability to scan wide areas.

The underwater glider has a mission duration of +6 months. The vehicle can cover tens of thousands of square kilometers for +6 months.

Narval 1006 has a modular structure. The head part of the vehicle changes according to the customer's mission requirements.

Some of the missions that Narval 1006 can perform:

Military: Mine, diver, submarine detection, reconnaissance and surveillance in enemy territorial waters, signal intelligence etc.

Civil: Observation of underwater life, underwater mapping, study of underwater currents, detection of underwater caves etc.

Narval which can operate in a fleet underwater, has been designed and produced with durability and robustness in mind. At the rear end of the Narval 1006, a system has been designed to enable dive and surface maneuvers in water. With this mechanism, diving and surfacing can be performed easily. A bespoke battery pack is used for pitch motion of the vehicle. By moving this specially designed battery pack back and forth, the vehicle can quickly switch from diving to surfacing or vice versa. The horizontal maneuvers are directed by the rudder. Dive and ascent movements can be optimized reproducibly in desired periods.

Narval 1006 cruises systematically through the water in its sawtooth motion. It is equipped with integrated sensors to measure the depth of the water. Desired sensors can be mounted on the payload section designed according to the purpose. Thus, all the data obtained can be transmitted to the control center and analyzed with the vehicle that comes to the surface at desired intervals.
