Suitable for almost any environment, in normal 
conditions the AC-ROV will work for observation of
underwater structures. Its best use would be by
deployment from the cellar deck of a platform
(Jacket). In the right conditions it could also be used
for jack-up drill rig spud can checks and vessel hull,
tunnel thruster inspection of Hydro Power Projects, Nuclear Power Plant inspection. In
this case it is a valuable pre-dive inspection and reconnaissance tool that then follows on
into diver observation and safety control. The AC-ROV is also very diver friendly and is
very safe to use with divers if required.
A genuine breakthrough design, the AC-ROV is the most
capable and portable small ROV on the market. A
complete system comes in one rugged waterproof hand carry case with an all up weight of just 18kg (39.69Ibs). It defines the "HAND CARRY"
class in underwater inspection systems, CE Marked and certified for all "feet wet"
applications, offshore, onshore or down pipes, it is the safest and quickest tool for your
underwater inspection. One person can easily deploy the system in less than 3 minutes.
Not only can it be carried in one hand, it can be controlled with one hand. The AC-ROV
is a single operator system and a new benchmark in ROV design. Other advantages are as
follows:
- Hand Carry
- Rapid Deployment
- Single Operator
- Unequalled Mobility (5 degrees of freedom)
- Equal Forward and Lateral Thrust
- Intuitive 3D Control (use any hand)
- Powerful Flight Assist Functions
- Longer Tether 100 meter
