The OceanidsĀ Autosub 2000m Under-IceĀ (A2KUI) vehicle has now begun ballasting and in-water testing as it approaches its first Harbour Acceptance Test in Loch Ness.
Designed for high-power under-ice scientific missions, a comprehensive programme of dry and wet testing throughout the development lifecycle will ensure that A2KUI has the reliability to operate safely under vast areas of sea ice or glaciers.
