Abstract (EN): Autonomous Underwater Vehicles are remarkable machines that revolutionized the collection of data at sea. There are many examples of highly operational man-portable vehicles for shallow waters, but there was no similar solution for deep water operations. This paper describes the development of a portable, modular, hovering AUV for deep water operations. The vehicle has little over 50kg, 2.4m of length, and a depth rating of 4000m. The first version of the vehicle has been assembled, it has gone through the initial tests in water tanks, and it is being prepared for the first operations at sea. © 2017 Marine Technology Society.
