Capabilities that transcend size
The Bluefin-12 offers the user a platform with payload flexibility and capability unmatched in its class.
Intelligent packaging combined with cutting edge technology result in a large available payload volume and high performance in a package that conforms to the Lightweight Torpedo infrastructure.
Focus on the user
Bluefin-12’s low weight and inherently robust construction enables launch and recovery from a wide range of platforms, from inflatable craft to large ships of opportunity.
This is a vehicle that is designed to withstand the rigors of rough weather operation without specialized topside gear.
Topside tools for vehicle configuration, mission planning, data analysis, data management, and battery charging are intuitive and powerful, allowing operators to manage the vehicle with only a few days of training. Endurance is key
A generous 4.5 kWh of energy capacity give operators wide latitude in trading off payload power, speed and range. Batteries can be charged in situ, or swapped in minutes for minimum down time.
Payload centric
Bluefin-12 is tailored to support a wide range of payloads in the forward 48” of the vehicle.
The flooded architecture, acoustically transparent shell material, and unimpeded forward view offers great flexibility in payload integration, with minimum engineering effort.
The modular, compartmentalized design is further enhanced by the electrical architecture, which supports two separate, independent payloads with a standardized interface.
Low self-noise, outstanding dynamic control, and world class magnetic and inertial navigation solutions further ensures superior payload data quality.
