VideoRay Platform Family
Unmanned Platform
VideoRay manufactures a family of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) designed for a wide range of underwater inspection, observation, and intervention tasks across commercial, industrial, and military sectors.
Mission Profile
VideoRay ROVs are primarily employed for underwater inspection, observation, and light intervention in environments too dangerous, deep, or confined for human divers. Their compact size and maneuverability make them suitable for tasks such as infrastructure inspection (dams, pipelines, bridges, offshore platforms), port security, search and recovery operations, scientific research, and military applications including mine countermeasures and hull inspections.
The modular design of many VideoRay platforms allows for customization with various sensors, manipulators, and tools, enabling them to adapt to specific mission requirements. They are typically deployed from small vessels or shore-based platforms, providing real-time visual feedback and data collection to operators. Their ease of deployment and operation makes them valuable tools for rapid assessment and persistent monitoring in complex underwater environments.
