ROV & AUV subsystems
Subsystems designed and built to your vehicle's interfaces and specification.
Subsea systems
Subsystems and design support for ROV and AUV builders.
Selkie Tech designs and builds ROV and AUV subsystems, and works alongside builders' engineering and design teams on systems rated from coastal to full ocean depth.
Design drawings are reviewed and sealed by a partner professional engineer.
Capabilities
Your vehicle. Our subsystems and support.
We work for ROV and AUV builders, integrators, and operators: adding capacity to your team, not competing with it.
Engineering & design support
Requirements, specification, analysis, and design reviews alongside your engineering and design team, from coastal to full ocean depth.
Simulation & analysis
Mission, vehicle-dynamics, and tether or towed-cable simulation to test a design before it gets wet.
See the AUV simulator Modelling & forecastingSoftware & integration
Control software, sensor integration, and data systems, from prototype to deployment.
Subsea component fabrication
Components built to design drawings, from prototype to production.
Trials, operations & recovery
Sea-trial and deployment support from small vessels in the Salish Sea, and recovery or relocation of submerged objects.
How a subsea project runs
Requirements first, water last.
-
01
Requirements
Your vehicle, its interfaces, depth rating, and mission.
-
02
Specify & simulate
Specify the subsystem and simulate it in the mission.
-
03
Design & review
Detailed design, with drawings reviewed and sealed by a partner professional engineer.
-
04
Build & integrate
Fabricate, assemble, and integrate hardware and software.
-
05
Trials & operations
Test and operate on the water.
Design drawings are reviewed and sealed by a partner professional engineer. Lift and recovery plans are reviewed by a partner professional engineer where the work requires it.
