REMUS 600
The REMUS 600 AUV was designed through funding
from the Office of Naval Research to support the
Navy’s growing need for operations requiring extended
endurance, increased payload capacity, and greater
operating depth. The result is the REMUS 600. The REMUS

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

The REMUS 600 utilizes essentially the same graphical user interface (GUI) as our proven REMUS 100 AUV.
This highly intuitive GUI greatly simplifies vehicle maintenance, mission planning, vehicle checkout, and
data analysis; and will run on any PC or laptop operating under Windows® 95, 98, NT, 2000, or XP. Communication
between the vehicle and the host is conducted via a standard Ethernet connection. Among other
features, the GUI includes:
An integrated text editor for construction of the mission file.
A map view that illustrates the planned mission for review.
Automatic error checking performed on all aspects of the planned mission, with warning
messages that appear if any mission parameters are incorrect.
A set of quick-look indicators display system status, where green indicates OK, and red indicates a fault.
