NaviSuite Mobula – SONAR

Advanced software for efficient ROV piloting and high-quality data deliverables

Advanced software for efficient ROV piloting and high-quality data deliverables

NaviSuite Mobula is a plug-and-play ROV control and inspection software, allowing operators to plan and perform inspections efficiently – and enabling automation. With a variety of variants of this software bundle available, you can pick the one best tailored to your needs and budget.

The software provides high-performing features focusing on automated steering and inspection

Depending on the variant, these features can include assisted and automated steering modes; real-time quality control tools; real-time data displays and overlays; 3D model visualisations; observation logging; as well as automatic data cleaning. The end-result is extensive deliverables with high-quality inspection data.

The NaviSuite Mobula software bundle includes four variants. The NaviSuite Mobula Sonar variant for the Blue Robotics BlueROV2 supports ROV inspections all the way from steering to data delivery and allows for…

  • Excellent ROV control through joystick steering in six degrees of freedom, as well as automatic and assisted steering with modes that include going to a selected waypoint, moving a defined distance and direction, scanning quay walls, orbiting a target, as well as holding a position
  • Data acquisition with scanning/mechanical imaging sonar and multi-beam imaging sonar
  • Configurable user interface and simultaneous data displays increasing situational awareness
  • Comprehensive data deliverables, such as fly-by videos and observation logs
