Subsea Tech Observer

Subsea Tech designs and manufactures a full range of mini ROV, with performances designed for each application. With lengths from 37 to 50 cm and weights from 4 to 6.5 kilograms, the underwater robots can carry out high definition video, sonar inspections and physiochemical measurements up to 150 m of water; they can be equipped with manipulators, sensors for measuring thickness (Cygnus), water / sediment samplers and a multitude of sensors depending on customer needs, thanks to their accessory plug.

Subsea Tech offers the only mini ROV in the world equipped with embedded batteries, allowing systems to operate for several hours without external power.

Subsea Tech offers LYYN Inside solutions in their product range, as well as being a dealer for LYYN stand-alone products.

Subsea Tech demonstration:

SeaBotix LBV Crawler

“We were approx 1 km off shore and we were there to test the SeaBotix LBV150SE-5 and LBC. We were able to identify debris on the sea bed (as per the pictures), we were also able to follow the line of the Pipe, fly over and around the Plem for inspection, and follow the length of the flex to the attaching head.

During the demonstration we fly down to the pipe and land. What we did not know is that this was the chosen resting place of an Octopus, who flew off in fright as we settled down, only to return and throw us off of his pipe.

The demonstration was a good success we feel and well worth the trip to France.”

This series of video-clips were taken by ECA’s K-Ster ROV during trials.

K-Ster is a low-cost, easy to launch, one-shot mine disposal vehicle. An inert version is also available for training, demonstration or inspection tasks both in the military and civilian sectors (oil and gas industry). K-Ster is designed to operate from both dedicated and non-dedicated platforms, at ranges out to 1000 meters, in depths down to 300 meters.

Automatically guided towards the target, K-ster is fitted with both sonar and color camera for target identification. It has a unique tiltable warhead containing an insensitive explosive to attack mines accurately and efficiently and is effective against moored, bottom and partially buried mines.

The four clips were lyynified™ after the trials and clearly show how LYYN technology can enhance visibility and aid the identification process.
