Cellula Robotics Ltd. has successfully completed the “Deployable Battery Station for UUV Mission Extension” project under the IDEaS program challenge of Persistent Maritime Surveillance. The project demonstrated that the latest generation of AGM batteries can be charged and discharged in oil and under pressure, providing a low cost and safe method of storing significant amounts of energy subsea.
This deployable battery station is an important enabling technology for reducing the risks to personnel conducting maritime monitoring operations along Canada’s diverse coastline. Applications range from UUV recharging to powering scientific observation and surveillance equipment long-term.
