On December 7 & 8, 2009, Marport Canada performed in-water maneuverability and propulsion tests with the SQX-500 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV). These tests demonstrated the high maneuverability of the vehicle, achieved through its innovative 3D thrust vectoring propulsion system, as well as its high passive stability. The SQX-500 is capable of not only traveling forward as with traditional underwater vehicles, but also has the ability to turn in place (zero turning radius), hover independent of current or orientation, and traverse sideways or "crab". Tests were performed at the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland.

  • I must say that it looks terribly slow. With that power it'd be easily pushed by currents.
