Next - 402
Next - 402 is a larger Next Series autonomous underwater platform developed for extended survey, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, research and maritime operations where greater mission endurance and payload capacity are required.
Product Overview
Extended underwater capability in the Next Series
Designed for missions that require more endurance and payload capacity than the compact Next - 108, the Next - 402 provides a larger autonomous platform while retaining the recognizable Next Series product architecture.
Longer Mission Capability
Designed for extended autonomous underwater missions where additional operating time provides greater coverage and flexibility.
Expanded Payload Options
The larger platform envelope supports configurable imaging, sonar, environmental and research payload packages.
Repeatable Underwater Operations
Built for autonomous survey, observation and inspection missions that benefit from consistent route execution and recorded data.
Product Design
A larger mission platform with a streamlined profile
The selected Next - 402 product design uses a streamlined yellow cylindrical body, rounded black nose, rear ducted propulsor, stabilizing fins and a clean modular external form optimized around practical underwater operations.
- Standard 12-inch vehicle class
- Streamlined long-range underwater form
- Rear ducted propulsion configuration
- Expanded configurable mission payload capability
- Designed for extended survey and inspection missions
Applications
Designed for demanding underwater mission profiles
Next - 402 supports applications where autonomous operation, larger payloads and longer mission duration can extend underwater reach.
Mission Options
Greater capacity for mission-specific payloads
Next - 402 can be configured with mission-specific sensor packages according to operational requirements and application needs.
Why Next - 402
More mission capacity without moving to a very large AUV
