Teledyne CARIS AI Software Used in Uncrewed Offshore Survey
shelf. The image displays the initial results following a fully automated processing workflow. Final processing is currently being completed using CARIS HIPS software to produce the final deliverable for the survey.The success of the Teledyne CARIS tools in the UTAS project demonstrates its software capabilities to support uncrewed surveys in the future and the crucial role it will play in The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 project. Seabed 2030 is an effort between GEBCO and The Nippon Foundation to complete the global mapping of the ocean floors in the next 10 years.“Teledyne CARIS is
EIVA Launches ROV Steering Software
operated vehicle (ROV) owners.The market for the micro- and mini-ROV is under drastic change, with more suppliers entering the market, and prices for the ROVs dropping significantly. The performance of the entry-level ROVs makes them useful for professional use – provided you have the right software capabilities.This is now possible through a NaviSuite product dedicated to ROV steering, NaviSuite Mobula. It includes high-end features from NaviSuite Nardoa, EIVA’s package for high-end subsea inspection work, where focus is on data fusion from the most advanced sensors and on efficiency functions

data. RTS has used it for analyzing oceanographic data variability in order to better understand military sonar performance in complex underwater environments. RTS has engaged with the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and Royal Navy staff to present the software capabilities and discuss uses. The web application software architecture separates data access and manipulation from data visualization, allowing devices running only a web browser to rapidly interact with data handled on a server or desktop PC over a network. Benefits of this approach
US Navy ROV Gets a New Assignment
outer frame. To support subsea recovery tasks, it is fitted with a lifting fixture capable of hoisting up to 1,000 pounds, two five-function manipulators made of titanium and a user friendly control system that employs programmable logic controller (PLC) technology with graphic user interface software capabilities. Soon after the ROV’s completion, representatives of the U.S. Navy’s Undersea Rescue Command (URC) and NAVSEA Submarine Escape & Rescue Program Office (PMS 391) were briefed on Hydros as a potential replacement for the Navy’s one-atmosphere diving system (ADS2000)
