This presentation provides insights into how EIVA’s autonomy stack will redefine mission autonomy in subsea operations through its robust and scalable software architecture.

Subsea operations are increasingly adopting autonomy to improve efficiency, safety, and performance near assets. However, achieving reliable mission autonomy for inspection, maintenance and repair tasks demands advanced capabilities that go beyond standard vehicle-level control systems. EIVA is developing a modular ‘mission autonomy’ software designed to complement and enhance the autonomy of ROVs and AUVs, regardless of their original equipment manufacturer. The software leverages tightly coupled multi-domain simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), inertial navigation systems, sonar, stereo and mono cameras to deliver robust navigation, perception and spatial awareness. This fusion of technologies enables precise guidance for autonomous adaptive mission execution, even around complex subsea structures. The development of this solution follows a progressive Level of Autonomy framework, leveraging EIVA’s extensive experience from key industry underwater intervention drone (UID) deployment programmes and successful proof-of-concept solutions. Each milestone is designed to deliver reliable, testable capabilities that accelerate time-to-market and break entry barriers for adopting autonomy. With this staged approach, EIVA ensures best-in-class reliability and performance, empowering operators to confidently achieve mission success. With this new generation of NaviSuite software, EIVA is committed to delivering reliable, validated solutions, driving innovation and setting new standards for the future of offshore energy operations.
