Boston-based subsea robotics designer and manufacturer Dive Technologies Inc. has announced the completion of the integration and build of DIVE-LD, the company’s first full-scale commercial large displacement (LD) UUV platform.

At-sea testing of the UUV will begin this summer, and will be followed by commercial and defense demonstrations, which will include deep ocean testing.

“We’re thrilled to see the DIVE-LD come together after nearly two years of iterating on the design, prototyping, and lab testing,” says Jerry Sgobbo, CEO at Dive Technologies.

“Our team has been focused on creating highly-scalable, truly open software and hardware architectures that together produced what we like to refer to as UUV 2.0. Our platform architecture promotes cost and schedule efficient design cycles and greatly reduces production costs as compared to other legacy UUV designs currently on the market.”

A venture-backed company founded in 2018, Dive Technologies is re-imagining how UUVs are designed, manufactured, and deployed at sea. The company has a unique patent-pending technology platform, and its UUVs are equipped with inherent mission critical features that enable what the company describes as unprecedented range, endurance, and function flexibility for commercial, research, and defense clients.
