industry applications. More than 500 ROV systems have
been designed, built and delivered to customers in more
than 30 countries. These include security, military, customs,
nuclear, hydroelectric, inshore, offshore, oil and gas, scien-
tific research and education, fisheries, salvage, broadcast
filming, long tunnel and pipeline inspections. Customers

Technology Profile
Deep Ocean Engineering has recently introduced an
advanced inspection-class ROV's. The all-new Vector
Series ROV's are designed to be reliable, powerful vehicles
that can carry the most advanced sonars, cameras and
specialized instruments, all the while maximizing stability
and control of the vehicle. By adopting digital telemetry, the
Graphical User Interface provides a great more information
to the ROV operator than had heretofore been available.
This additional information not only includes details on the
data being collected at the ROV but also on-condition mon-
itoring of the ROV and its systems. Finally, the all-new
brushless thrusters installed on all Vector Series ROV's are
designed to be the most powerful and reliable available on
any inspection-class ROV.
