Abstract
Special Session: Hybrid and Convertible Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.-This paper describes the development of a sealing capsule for attaching the instrumentation required for a Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Underwater Vehicle (HUAUV) to perform tasks autonomously. The designed capsule aims to protect the electronic components in the underwater environment ensuring the integrity of the equipment. This work discusses the challenges involved in designing and building the sealing capsule and the tests performed to validate its effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the sealing was able to successfully protect the instrumentation without impairing its operation.
