Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV) Dock

PacMar Technologies is offering a self-contained fendering and towable Extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV) Semi-submersible Maintenance Platform (XSeMP). The XSeMP will enable waterborne operations such as towing, payload replenishment, and in-water service and maintenance for the XLUUV by raising the freeboard of XLUUV by up to 36”. The platform provides permanent fendering and protection for the XLUUV and enables the XLUUV to be towed in open calm water and moored along a pier, quay or In-water Service Platform (ISP). The XSeMP is a lightweight, modular, composite, inflatable rigid platform comprised of a rigid aluminum structure with integrated drop-stitch panels used for variable buoyancy, integrated fixed flotation, a grating deck allowing access to service and maintenance areas and an inflation/deflation system. The XSeMP inflation system inflates and deflates airtight drop-stitch panels to raise, lower and control trim and roll of XLUUV within the platform. The XSeMP variable flotation is used to control the state of the XLUUV during docking, undocking, freeboard changes and replenishment.
