Downward is the new forward.

Five chat-ready mission templates for ROV and AUV work — reef surveys, wreck archaeology, aquaculture, hull inspection, subsea pipeline. Depth-rated component filtering and BlueRobotics catalog integration. Tether-or-autonomous decided by mission profile.

Chat-ready mission templates.

Describe the mission in your own words. DRONA classifies into one of the templates below, picks the form factor, autonomy level, and sensor payload, then runs end-to-end physics validation.

Reef / coral survey
UW-01
Shallow-water reef survey for biological research. 4-thruster ROV with LED lighting.
formROV 4-thrustersensorRGB + LEDdepth50–100 m
L1–2featured
Wreck / archaeology
UW-02
Deep-water wreck documentation with sonar + HD + manipulator arm.
formROV vectored-8sensorsonar + HD + manipulatordepth150–300 m
L2
Aquaculture net inspection
UW-03
Fish-farm net integrity check. Frequent shallow operations; BlueROV2-class.
formROV 4-thrustersensorRGB + HDdepth30–60 m
L1–2
Hull / prop inspection
UW-04
Small-boat hull and propeller check. Compact ROV, shallow depth.
formROV compactsensorRGB + LEDdepth10–30 m
L1
Subsea pipeline (long-range)
UW-05
Offshore pipeline survey with AUV. Inertial navigation + sonar; no tether.

Compatibility envelope

Industry-specific rules the engine enforces.

On top of the 12 universal compatibility rules, underwater · marine designs run against the predicates below. Errors block export; warnings surface with a plain-English fix.

RuleWhat it checksSeverity
depth-rating-marginComponent depth rating ≥ mission depth × 1.5 safety factor. Blocks export below margin.error
buoyancy-balanceNet buoyancy: neutral to slightly positive (+10 to +50 g). Warn outside range.warn
cb-above-cgCentre of buoyancy must be above centre of gravity. Otherwise ROV inverts on power-loss.error
seal-integrityAll electronics inside pressure vessel or IP68-rated penetrators. External non-sealed components blocked.error
tether-gaugeTether gauge sized for voltage drop < 10% over length. Auto-calculated.warn
salt-water-coatingSalt-water operations → anti-corrosion coatings on all external metal; uprate flagged.warn
sonar-selectionMission depth > 30 m → sonar recommended for navigation; LED alone inadequate.info

From "find my cow" to an IP54 hex in nine minutes.

How a 60-ha agritourism operation went from a single-sentence problem to a thermal-equipped hex drone ordered the same week.
