Iver3 EP
The EP model is an open system AUV, users can install their hardware and make software extensions to the vehicle without a custom design. L3Harris provides physical space inside the forward section for user electronics and hull penetrators to make connections to external sensors. The Iver3 remote helm functionality allows users to integrate their sensors and take full control over the vehicle in real-time. The Iver3 EP includes a separate CPU, which allowing users to install their operating system, connecting to the added hardware.
The Iver3 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle remote helm functionality provides an open system interface, which allows users to easily integrate their own sensors, and take full control over the vehicle in real-time.
The remote helm design model includes a separate CPU, which allows the users to install their own operating system that can connect to the added hardware. The second CPU communicates with the Iver3 control CPU through a serial port via a rich set of commands for remote helm control. The user applications are wide ranging including remote helm use with MOOS-IvP (Mission Oriented Operating Suite – Interval Programming) software.
