The REMUS (Remote Environmental Monitoring UnitS) series are autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) made by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and designed by their Oceanographic Systems Lab (OSL). More recently REMUS vehicles have been manufactured by the spinoff company Hydroid Inc, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Kongsberg Maritime.[1] Hydroid was acquired by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HHI) in March 2020.[2] The series are designed to be low cost, they have shared control software and electronic subsystems and can be operated from a laptop computer.[3] They are used by civilians for seafloor mapping, underwater surveying, and search and recovery as well as by several navies for mine countermeasures missions.
