What is an ROV? And Why You Need One

An underwater ROV, or "Remotely Operated Vehicle," is a cutting-edge underwater drone controlled remotely from the surface. These vehicles are revolutionizing industries by providing safer, more cost-effective, and highly efficient solutions for a wide range of underwater operations. From search and rescue (SAR) and defense missions to offshore maintenance, marine research, non-destructive testing, and data collection, ROVs are essential tools for professionals tackling underwater challenges. Designed to explore depths that often exceed hundreds of meters, ROVs are equipped with advanced cameras, sensors, and manipulator arms, allowing them to excel at complex tasks while streaming real-time data to operators on the surface. By minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency, this technology has become the first choice for professionals across a wide variety of markets. The Ultimate Solution for Safer, Cost-Effective, and Efficient Operations ROVs are transformative tools across various sectors: Safety First: By deploying an ROV first, operators can assess hazardous environments before sending [...]

Product Launch: The SRV-8 MDV

The SRV-8 MDV (Mine Disposal Vehicle) is a new addition to Oceanbotics’ Special Purpose Vehicle Division. This field-tested underwater ROV will detect and eliminate explosive mine threats quickly and efficiently, utilizing ECS Special Projects’ Viper MDS technology for neutralizing improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The SRV-8 MDV’s ease of use and adaptive software will allow commercial and naval EOD teams to locate and neutralize mine threats quickly. The SRV-8 MDV (Mine Disposal Vehicle) Operators will first use the SRV-8 MDV’s state-of-the-art imaging sonar to detect the mine threat. Upon reaching the mine, the Viper MDS will secure the charge disruptor to the mine. The operator will then navigate the ROV away from the mine threat while deploying a spooled shock tube that is tethered from the charge to the ROV. By activating the charge through the shock tube, the operator will effectively neutralize the mine threat, ensuring the safety of both [...]
