Tiburon Subsea Introduces Advanced Underwater Robotic Technology

JETTE is a pioneering in-line dual vectored subsea robotic controlled propulsion system designed to meet the evolving demands within the underwater robotics market.

Tiburon Subsea has launched its patent pending autonomous underwater thruster control technology, JETTE.


JETTE is a pioneering in-line dual vectored subsea robotic controlled propulsion system designed to meet the evolving demands within the underwater robotics market.

This revolutionary design employs dual fore and aft thrusters working independently and in tandem giving Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) enhanced capabilities. The JETTE system offers increased speed, variable controls, maneuverability, durability, and redundancy over traditional UUV's. This design eliminates the long-standing control plane weak points that have plagued UUV's. JETTE provides extended hover/dwell/scan abilities and simplifies maintenance while providing redundancy and self-rescue. It is a unique system and an evolution in hydrodynamic efficiency.

Breaking down barriers to emerging technology and facilitating its availability is a mission for Ocean Explorer, Founder and Tiburon Subsea CEO Tim Taylor.

"Autonomous vehicles are opening new frontiers just as satellites have in space. Timely ocean data is a missing link. Renewable energy, climate change remediation, coastal engineering and security will all benefit from this technology. Tiburon's aim is to democratize access to autonomous robotic tech for stakeholders and caretakers. In facilitating access to data, we will increase awareness, care, and management of our ocean resources and environment in real-time," states Taylor.

Tiburon Subsea is pioneering a new wave for the future of underwater robotics by developing a platform consisting of proprietary technology, engineering support, training, and logistical services.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
