Four systems will be delivered to YSI/Xylem for use in water quality application utilizing the YSI Sonde 6-Series Sensors. The second customer, John’s Hopkins University, recently took delivery of their first Iver3-580 system for research purposes. Johns Hopkins currently operates two Iver2 AUVs.

The Iver3-580 system is expected to be used for survey purposes using the Klein 3500 with both side scan sonar and bathy capability. The Iver platform will also act as a research platform for sensing, communications and mobile computing for reliable execution of seabed and other surveys.
