Photo Description:
Hiding beneath the sea surface of the Galapagos Marine Reserve lie hundreds of underwater volcanic structures known as seamounts. On November 2018 scientists in collaboration with VideoRay used a remotely operated vehicle to explore several uncharted seamounts. Will these structures be biodiversity hotspots or barren moonscapes? Are there new fish communities, undescribed reef ecosystems or critters never seen before? These were the primary questions scientists are trying to find out with the collected images.

In the Norwegian mountains within mountain shafts the ROV was brought by helicopter. It had a specially design kayak and 27 meter bridge to travel 40 meters in air down a 60 degree shaft, before disconnection from the kayak under water. ROV continued onto main Hydro power tunnel after 80 meters total, before returning to kayak and returned topside. Resulted i a 3D scan model by use of sonar and laser scan. 4 shafts where done. And the Pro 4 assisted a Chinook for a 1,8 km tunnel inspection using one of the inspected shafts as entrance. The goal where to get as much information regarding the condition and to plan a shut down and draining to fix the problems. Thanks to the pro 4 and kayak they now know everything vs. just guessing and having bad feelings.

Photo Description:
Seagull is a multi-role unmanned surface vessel (USV) manufactured by Elbit Systems to meet the maritime warfare mission requirements of the naval forces worldwide. Unveiled at the Singapore Airshow held in February 2016, the vessel is capable of conducting mine counter-measures (MCM) involving the detection, categorisation, localisation, recognition and neutralisation of seabed, tied up and floating naval mines. It can also be deployed in anti-submarine warfare (ASW), intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare (EW), maritime security and hydrography missions. Elbit successfully demonstrated the MCM capabilities of a Seagull USV integrated with Klein 5900 multi-beam mine hunting side scan sonar, during mine countermeasure exercises conducted in the Mediterranean Sea in March 2016.

Our team was on a search and recovery mission for a week in Batchewana Bay, Lake Superior. Almost every morning, fog covered the hills surrounding the bay.

Search And Recovery: We used our ROV (nicknamed FIDO) to find and retrieve equipment that had been lost to the bottom of Lake Huron (North Channel). Using our BlueView sonar, we were able to find the majority of our units. Using the rotating parallel jaw, we were able to attach a snap hook with a rope to a buoy on the surface. After that, we could retrieve it from the surface, and not have to use SCUBA for recovery!

Photo Description:
The Videoray Pro4 with a recovery tool attached is sitting on top of over 1700 feet of tether! This rig was used to successfully attach a line onto the eyelet of a 6 foot inflatable plug which was lodged over 1600 foot downstream in a 36 inch iron pipe. To add to the challenge there were a total of 360 degrees of bends to navigate.

The scope of work in offshore applications may require different vehicles depending on the task. The latest Videoray lineup is on display here with ROV pilot and tech Will Johnson. The Pro4, Pro5, and Defender were used as part of a 2018 pre-storm riser and centerwell inspection on a production spar located in the Gulf of Mexico.

This picture is from a Fire Department training in Korea in October. They bought Pro4 system with smart tether. 2 trainees had to try to use the Pro 4 and manupulator to grab the ball first, good practice for ROV control and concentration.

The first potable water Dam Impermeabilitation in Europe. More than 2500 Dives due to Install Impermeable Membrane in cooperation with Carpi Tech Tecnology. ROV has been a big Divers Support to the project on many tasks including the Installation of the submersible structures and several surveys due to know any critical point of the Dam builded in 1953.

Sidus Solutions was a proud part of 3D Scanning anchor chains at Oceanics' test pool in Katy, Texas. We used the Sidus Solutions SS464 HD-IP camera and SS501 Laser, and a custom fitted bracket with DimEye's 3D photogrammetry software. The high resolutions images, ease of use and super accurate 3D models were a winner!

Search for missing fisherman with the Pro 4 ROV by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Officers- Center Hill Lake TN. Fisherman was located and recovered within 30 minutes of deployment. Depth of 35 feet with no water clarity. Without the Pro 4, it would have been almost impossible to find the missing person.

Photo Description:
The State of Michigan, Department of Environmental Quality, Geological Services Unit was utilizing a Videoray Pro 4 ROV to visually investigate unknown underwater targets that were marked previously with a side scan sonar. This area is known to have debris that is linked to the mining industry that occurred around 1845. We were located in the Keweenaw Waterway in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on a foggy September morning.

Our laboratory uses VideoRay Pro4 to observe underwater habitats such as coral reefs and benthos to determine the species and health condition. The three photos submitted were from our mission on October 18th, using ROV to observe the underwater environment around a fish raft. The maximum depth of the fish raft is about 10 meters, but the range is relatively large. So the long tether was released on the water. According to the observations, there is a muddy seabed around the fish raft and no valuable underwater habitat. In addition, we only found a sea urchin.
