REAL MISSIONS

Real-world missions: our system solutions in action

Developing innovative offshore technologies under realistic field conditions

Fast and reliable UXO detection under real offshore conditions. COMPANION enables flexible sensor integration, rapid adaptation to changing requirements, and cost-efficient deployment even from small vessels.

System: COMPANION ROTV
Application: Sensor testing
Capability: Rapid payload exchange, modular setup
Environment: Baltic Sea, offshore test field
Customer: Fraunhofer IGD

Supporting long-term ocean observation through reliable subsea operations

Ensuring continuous access to valuable environmental data through efficient monitoring, maintenance, and recovery of seabed sensor systems. Equipped with advanced sensors and a versatile manipulator, the ROV enables precise inspections and supports recovery operations, helping to maximize data availability while reducing operational effort.

System: BUDDY ROV

Customer Opinion on COMPANION ROTV

We are proud owners of a COMPANION. We chose it because existing ROCVs were often too large, costly, and limited in their applications. COMPANION fills a clear gap in the market by providing a flexible and efficient solution for hydrographic surveys and marine research. Thanks to its outstanding modularity, it can investigate both the seafloor and the water column, while significantly reducing time, manpower, and maintenance costs.
