One of the great benefits of the Gavia AUV are the availability of user swappable payload modules to carry custom sensors. A payload package consist of the Gavia Interface kit, Module controller firmware with serial to Ethernet port forwarding and Serial Payload Operator software with configurable serial interfaces that allows serial payload devices to be controlled from within the Gavia User Interface, and a custom module shell which can be flooded if desired in the form of a nosecone payload.
A typical 400mm payload module has roughly 295 mm usable space with a usable inside diameter of 178mm.
