Triton

An autonomous underwater vehicle for deep-sea exploration, designed and built in Munich.

The Vehicle

Triton is Nautum's flagship project and the first autonomous underwater vehicle developed by students in Munich. Engineered for long-duration deep-sea missions, Triton is designed to operate autonomously at depths of up to 3,000 meters for more than 30 days, carrying a modular sensor payload tailored to each mission. Its goal: collect high-quality data from one of the least explored environments on Earth and support scientific research in seafloor mapping, habitat characterization, and environmental monitoring.
