JIT's power and propulsion system provides the electrical power and thrust required for underwater maneuvering. The current configuration combines a high-capacity lithium battery with eight electronic speed controllers and eight Blue Robotics T200 thrusters, providing independent control of the vehicle's propulsion units and supporting precise maneuverability in the water.
JIT is powered by a Blue Robotics 4S 18.0 Ah lithium battery, which serves as the primary onboard power source for the vehicle's electrical and propulsion systems. The battery provides the voltage and energy capacity required to operate the thrusters, electronics, sensors, and other onboard equipment during underwater operation.
Eight Blue Robotics Basic Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) regulate power delivered to JIT's eight propulsion motors. Each ESC independently controls the speed of its corresponding thruster, allowing the flight controller to vary thrust across the vehicle's propulsion system. Independent motor control enables JIT to produce the directional and rotational forces required for underwater maneuvering.
JIT uses eight Blue Robotics T200 thrusters as its primary propulsion system. The eight thrusters provide the thrust required for forward and reverse motion as well as vertical and rotational maneuvering. Each thruster is independently controlled through its corresponding ESC, allowing the vehicle's control system to distribute thrust across the propulsion system and achieve precise movement in the water.
