ROVs - Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles

vLBV

Small capable vectored ROV

The Teledyne vLBV represents an evolution in small, capable, vectored MiniROV systems. Four powerful 100mm horizontal thrusters, arranged in a vectored format, offer nearly equal horizontal thrust in all 360-degrees of flight. The horizontal thrusters can be manually adjusted to bias thrust in the forward direction for extreme pulling power.

Description

The Teledyne vLBV represents an evolution in small, capable, vectored MiniROV systems. Four powerful 100 mm (4 in) horizontal thrusters, arranged in a vectored format, offer nearly equal horizontal thrust in all 360-degrees of flight. The horizontal thrusters can be manually adjusted to bias thrust in the forward direction for extreme pulling power. This works well in applications such as long internal pipe penetrations and high forward currents. High resolution cameras and sensors combined with SeaBotix’ industry-leading low drag tether make the vLBV the standard in offshore capability and portability. Also available with SmartFlightTM automated navigation.
