Autonomous Underwater Vehicles for Inspection, Survey & Subsea Intelligence
BETTA Long-endurance inspection and light intervention drone
BETTA

BETTA is BeeX's heavy-duty autonomous vehicle for long-endurance inspection, survey, and light intervention missions. IHO-compliant survey capabilities and advanced navigation autonomy maintain data quality across extended and complex operations.

The larger frame accommodates manipulator payloads for demanding underwater work. Structural inspection, survey, and light intervention tasks can be completed during the same deployment without recovering and redeploying the vehicle. BETTA uses crane launch and recovery.

BETTA provides autonomous station keeping, waypoint-based mission patterns, and fixed-offset tracking of user-defined structures. Its perception suite provides autonomous decision-making for structural and seabed inspections. Multi-drone operation enables a 1:X operator-to-drone ratio and removes tether entanglement and asset-damage risks.
