ROVs for Underwater Search and Recovery Missions
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. Talk to our Industry Specialists today about your specific needs and to learn more about:
- Identifying targets
- Conducting a victim or evidence recovery mission
- Training & diver monitoring
- Underwater search techniques
- How does sonar work
ROVs tools to identify targets
Once the side scan has completed it's sweep of the area, SAR teams are able to mark areas of interest where their target may be located. Traditionally, divers are deployed at this point and must navigate through the murky water, relying on touch to move around. Deep Trekker ROVs work in tandem - after the side scan has completed, it can be quickly deployed to identify the target. Pair your ROV with a multibeam imaging sonar to reidentify the target and get visual confirmation.
Aircraft and vehicle water crashes
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.
Systematic search and 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.
