The OPERATOR SUITE runs on a variety of platforms, and is typically installed on a small laptop computer. Certain functions require a connection to the Gavia AUV via wireless LAN, Iridium Satellite Phone, or the optional acoustic link.

Mission Planner

The mission plan is composed using the easy to use Gavia Mission Planner. This can be done off-line. When connected to the Gavia AUV the mission plan can be tested on the on-board simulator.

Control Center

Gavia is set up and remotely controlled using the Gavia Control Center. The Control Center provides the following functions:

• Monitor vehicle status
• Monitor instrument readings
• Monitor payload sensor readings
• Monitor crew status
• Remotely control Gavia
• Submit mission plan

Unless fitted with the optional acoustic link, Control Center functions including remote control are available only when the AUV is on the surface.

Data Pre-viewer

The Gavia Data Pre-viewer is used to download and view data gathered during a mission. With the Pre-viewer the operator can play back an entire mission and view data from different sensors in synchronization.
