Search & Rescue

For an ROV that must be used in Search & Rescue actions, you need a more professional model than just for underwater filming and photography. Speed and reliability are essential for Search & Rescue. The ROV must also have the power and capabilities to move and/or raise a heavier object. Using an ROV, in conjunction with divers, results in effective element recovery; from sunken vehicles to casualties.

With an ROV, a situation can be quickly investigated and assessed. The ROV transmits quality images using strong lights and a live camera system. The ROV pilot can immediately assess whether intervention is required by a dive team. Often an underwater drone equipped with a grab arm can also carry out the necessary rescue actions. The drone is already on site anyway, which saves a lot of time.

Sonar gebruik bij zoeken in donker / troebel waterTools such as sonar can greatly improve the search in poor visibility underwater. 
In a murky or dark underwater environment, an ROV can be equipped with various imaging sonar systems. Search and rescue teams can use sonar to identify and re-identify areas and objects where the intended target may be located. 

The Imaging Sonar has single- and dual-frequency models, unparalleled image quality in a compact, robust housing and a depth rating of up to 300 meters. Super update speeds and wide horizontal/vertical apertures allow underwater features to be effectively identified in a variety of murky or dark environments.

To get precise and accurate details about the location of potential subjects, an ROV can be equipped with an Underwater Quick Positioning System (Underwater GPS). With the U-QPS, search and rescue teams can obtain detailed dive route recordings, real-time location display and point of interest (POI) labeling through a dedicated app on a PC or smart device.

By using and combining different mapping software to display and track the ROV's path of motion, search and rescue teams can accurately track the location of the subjects and conduct recovery operations with increased accuracy and efficiency.
