Unmanned System Used in Recovery Operation of Shark Attack Victim

Whether for security in a port area or for search/rescue/recovery situations, an ROV is often the best and only choice. The SRV-8’s manoeuvrability and agility makes these operations much more successful. With the rapid deployment, the SRV-8 can be on-site and in the water in minutes and helps to reduce a divers time exposed to danger (TED) by providing situational awareness before entering the water or occasionally avoiding going into the water at all.

Law enforcement and rescue units worldwide are adopting the use of underwater ROVs to assist them in various recovery missions. In Western Australia, the SRV-8 was used in search efforts for a drowning victim and a shark attack victim near Twilight Beach and Cull Island. Law enforcement was tasked with a dangerous mission in recovering the victim’s bodies along with the diver’s gear.

The SRV-8’s HD camera and LED lights were used in the assistance of diver units to view the ocean floor and surrounding waters for the diver and his gear to reduce diver time in shark-infested waters.
