A Vehicle for Science and Exploration: Bringing Offshore Industry Advances and Experience to the Oceanographic Community

Abstract

The defining characteristics of a new NOAA ROV and its enabling technologies are explored. The NOAA system is rated to a depth of 6000 meters and can be configured as either a two body ROV and smart camera platform or as a camera platform only, depending on mission risk and sea conditions. Both the ROV and camera platform carry broadcast quality high definition cameras capable of providing high-resolution images critical to the scientist's mission. These high definition video feeds as well as vehicle data will be available for satellite transmission for real time collaboration with scientists at shore-based locations.
