Description
The towed systems are a good alternative to ROVs if inspections over extended areas have to be done. The efficiency of these systems is due to the tow velocity behind a boat in relation to self-propelled systems like ROVs. Nowadays towed systems are equipped with a vast variety of sensors and instruments so that they could be platforms for high-end technologies.
Combined with underwater positioning systems, scanning sonars, etc., towed systems represent a valid solution for scientist, marine harvesting companies, consultants and service companies, just to name a few. This platform gives the possibility to be adapted to the needs of each client since Mariscope's most modern underwater robotic technology and electronic is used. These towed vehicles have the possibility to be equipped, among others, with the following instruments:
- Underwater dimensional system
- Imaging sonars.
- High output illumination system
- Altimeters
- Oil in water sensors
- Oceanographic sensors.
- Side scan sonars
- Methane and H2S Sensors.
- Full HD /4K Cameras
