Ava Ocean acquires long duration AUV system from Skarv Technologies
Skarv Technologies delivers a long endurance version of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) CORAX to Ava Ocean for seabed mapping in the Barents Sea.
Opto-acoustic survey AUV

The CORAX AUV is a purpose-built vehicle system optimized for high-resolution optical and acoustical seafloor mapping. Engineered for close-range seabed efficiency, it can be deployed, controlled, and recovered by a minimal crew, making it ideal for both routine surveys and specialized mapping missions. The CORAX’s core configuration includes a robust computational platform, high-resolution cameras, forward looking sonar, and accurate navigation solutions.
