Remotely
Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are increasingly being asked to perform more demanding and complex tasks. An
increasing number of DVLs are currently in use on ROVs to monitor vehicle motion and
speed. he DVL can also be used to enhance the
current industry standard automatic control modes (heading and depth) to include
station-keeping. This works in the same manner as a vessel DP system, providing a true ROV
dynamic positioning capability. This allows the operator to automatically control vehicle
motion and position, and focus on other tasks.
Teledyne RDI’s DVLs are installed on a growing number of ROVs. A partial list
of these platforms includes:
• Schilling Robotics
• Oceaneering International
• Lockheed Martin
• SAAB Underwater Systems
• Perry Slingsby Systems
• Phoenix International
• Sperre AS
• Sonsub |
