Oceanbotics SRV-8: Government of Canada invests in science to better understand and protect marine ecosystems in the Arctic
"Canada’s Arctic waters are imperative to the livelihoods, culture, and identity of Nunavut Inuit. The Government of Canada is working in partnership to protect these ecosystems for future generations and is investing over $550,000 in two marine environmental data collection projects in Iqaluit, Nunavut. These projects are being funded through the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program under Canada’s $1.5 billion Oceans Protection Program. The two research projects are gathering a wide-range of data to help better understand Canada’s coastal environment and how we can protect it. Arctic UAV Inc. is leading a project that is collecting coastal environmental baseline data using a remotely operated underwater vehicle (RJE Oceantbotics SRV-8). This innovative project is using video to document habitat, bottom substrate, and benthic species within inner Frobisher Bay. This data will complement many of the other ongoing baseline data collection projects in the Iqaluit area. A second project by Arctic UAV Inc. is creating georeferenced [...]
ECO Magazine’s Polar Edition Feature: Exploration in Unmanned Environments
Recently, the SRV-8 was featured in ECO Magazine's Polar edition. The article 'Exploration in Unmanned Environments' explains how complex ecosystems and underwater regions can easily be explored with the use of a highly maneuverable and adaptable #ROV like the SRV-8. Read the full article here. "The exploration of our oceans is one of the most important missions to pursue in order to understand life on earth and the impacts of climate change for the future of our planet, and sometimes the most hard to reach places are the most crucial to explore. The arctic circle and northernmost regions of our planet are comprised of frigid waters, unforgiving environments and dangerous obstacles, including sea ice and glaciers that make it almost impossible to research for even the most trained professionals. Although with advancing technology and the use of ROVs, we are able to take a peak under the surface. Most ROVs come equipped with [...]
SRV-8 Performance Testimonial – Operation in Bass Strait, Australia
"We used the SRV-8 for several jobs earlier this year in Bass Strait, AUS, where the client requirements called for a small, easily transportable ROV system. The SRV-8 performed exceptionally well in strong current conditions that would have made using any other ‘suitcase’ ROV very difficult. The auto heading and depth made conducting a grid seabed survey a breeze and the high definition video is of great quality. We fitted the SRV-8 with a multi-beam SONAR and found the integration to be simple and intuitive. Support from both the Australian supplier and the development team was flawless." -Rod McGinness, Operations Manager, Bass Strait Subsea
