Search and Rescue Underwater ROV Equipment

When time matters most, have eyes in the water in seconds

Search and recovery missions are dangerous for divers and time is critical. Deep Trekker remotely operated vehicles provide real-time visual and allow you to deploy tailor-made tools such as sonar, to navigate and locate through turbid waters; and a grabber arm, to retrieve victims or evidence.

Accessible to all teams

Smaller Regions and Volunteer Team Also Benefit From ROV Ownership. Deep Trekker ROVs can provide an extremely cost-effective underwater observation solution for immediate deployment to inspect waterways, or areas of interest even while waiting on outside departments to arrive. Purchasing an ROV can be a more affordable long-term solution and provide a piece of mind to the community and reduce costs associated with bringing in marine units from neighboring jurisdictions.

Law Enforcement and Police Rescue operations

Many cities and police units have a marine unit to assist police and other first responders. A remote operated vehicle for law enforcement agency use can aid a diving team and facilitate search and rescue operations to locate drowning victims. ROVs can also help first responders in their underwater rescue efforts. Search sites are often in treacherous waters; an additional ROV can complement the marine unit to provide additional safety by monitoring of police divers.

Why Deep Trekker for Search and Rescue?

30 second deployment time

Launch in the most remote areas with no topside power or boxes required

Gaming style controller to significantly reduce the learning curve

Sophisticated Options such as Sonar and USBL Positioning Systems

Affordable robust equipment

Record investigations on the Deep Trekker DVR with voice-over capabilities

Identifying targets of interest

Paired with a side scan sonar, Deep Trekker ROVs are the perfect tool for target identification. Even in low visibility water, the ROVs equipped with imaging sonar can effectively navigate to targets of interest.

Victim and evidence recovery

When a target has been identified, Deep Trekker ROVs are used for the retrieval process. Once the ROV is on location, divers can follow the tether to the target. If the divers are limited by depth and temperature, the retrieval can be completed using the ROV grabber arm.

Rapid search response

Timing is critical during all search missions. With no topside power required, Deep Trekker ROVs can be ready and deployed within seconds. The ROVs also help to maximize the search effort, expanding time underwater and allowing the search to continue without interruption.

Reconnaissance and Position Tracking for Maritime Response Missions

The REVOLUTION NAV package provides integrated DVL and USBL capabilities to support underwater recon, search, and sweep operations. These systems enable precise geolocation, waypoint logging, and breadcrumb tracking - critical for reacquiring and positively identifying targets during EOD, MCM, or hazardous response missions.

Crews can verify coverage zones, confirm previously searched areas, and mark points of interest with geo-tagged video, still imagery, and operator notes for post-mission intel and analysis. Map overlays and station-holding functions support systematic pier, berth, hull, running gear, and bottom searches, ensuring thorough area clearance while maintaining real-time positional awareness in GPS-denied environments.

These capabilities enhance operational efficiency while minimizing diver exposure and enabling thorough verification of potential hazards - explosive or otherwise - prior to manned intervention.
