High-Precision Oceanographic & Hydrographic Instruments for Uncrewed Marine Vehicles (USVs, AUVs & ROVs)

Valeport is a leading developer of high-precision oceanographic and hydrographic instruments for USVs (uncrewed surface vessels), AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) and ROVs (remotely operated vehicles). With over 50 years of experience in the industry, we supply innovative and reliable instrumentation to customers around the world for use in environmental monitoring, water survey, offshore energy, construction and engineering, scientific research and more.

All aspects of product development and manufacturing are carried out by us entirely in-house, allowing us to maintain complete control over the quality of our product ranges and the service we provide. We pressure test every instrument before dispatch, ensuring excellent performance and longevity in the field.

SWiFT CTD

Conductivity, temperature and depth sensors for unmanned hydrographic survey

The SWiFT CTD range provides direct survey-grade measurement of conductivity, temperature and depth, as well as computed salinity, density and sound velocity. An integrated GNSS receiver provides accurate geo-location, and the battery can be conveniently recharged via USB.

The modules feature Bluetooth® wireless communications, as well as USB and serial, and data can be transferred automatically with no user input required. With a simple and smooth 90-degree turn, the magnetic switch ring is easy to operate, even with cold hands.

SWiFT SVP

Survey-grade sound velocity profilers

The SWiFT SVP range of sound velocity profilers outputs high-quality sound velocity, pressure and temperature measurements, and also utilises an integrated GNSS receiver for accurate geo-location.

Featuring a rugged titanium housing depth-rated to 500 metres, the versatile sensors can run for up to five days on a single charge and allow data to be quickly and easily downloaded via Bluetooth® wireless.

Hyperion

Compact environmental sensors for ROVs & AUVs

Our Hyperion range of environmental sensors is ideal for integration into deep-sea ROVs and AUVs, housed in a robust titanium enclosure rated for depths to 6000 metres.

The sensors feature a wide range isolated power supply accepting 9-28V DC, and can output data via RS232, RS485 and Modbus.

Bathymetric Sensors

We provide a range of sensors for gathering critical and high-accuracy bathymetry data for a variety of underwater applications. All sensors feature a rugged 6000 metre-rated titanium housing and can be easily integrated into unmanned underwater vehicles.
