The newly developed multipurpose ROV or an integrated mine hunting system

Abstract

A modular mine hunting ROV concept is presented. The design is based on experience gained during 15 years of exploitation of the Ukwial ROV and development of Gluptak single shot mine hunting systems. The design goal was to multiply capabilities of the Ukwial without increasing weight and dimensional envelope. The vehicle is composed around powerful propulsion system that gives the system basic PVDS capability and mine disposal in strong currents. The modularization is achieved by application of a dedicated work modules equipped for reconnaissance, search, object identification, mine hunting and engineering tasks. The ROV system is designed to be a stand-alone mine hunting system or to be a component of an integrated mine hunting system composed of AUVs and a single shot mine destruction vehicles. While the vehicle system is designed to be portable, it can be operated both from dedicated naval ships as well as small vessels of opportunity. The features are advantageous for many small navies and other governmental agencies.
