Flexible, Affordable, Mission-Ready: Meet the Ally ROV

Posted to Marine Technology Sponsored on June 22, 2025

As the demand for affordable, high-performance ROV solutions continues to grow, VideoRay is delivering powerful tools that meet the moment. Introduced just over a year ago, the Mission Specialist Ally has quickly earned a reputation for versatility, value, and seamless integration—especially when paired with the company's flagship Mission Specialist Defender.

Designed to bring VideoRay's industry-leading technology to a broader range of users, the Ally offers a compact, cost-effective entry point into the world of professional-grade ROV operations. With a depth rating of 300 meters, four vectored thrusters, and full compatibility with the Mission Specialist ecosystem, Ally is purpose-built for routine inspection, light intervention, and fast-response tasks in defense, commercial, and research environments.

What truly sets the Ally apart is its ability to grow with your mission. Sharing common components with all other Mission Specialist systems—including topside controls, tethers, and modules—Ally allows teams to scale operations efficiently while minimizing training, maintenance, and support overhead.

Recognizing the power of this synergy, VideoRay now offers a value-priced package that includes a full Mission Specialist Defender system, paired with an Ally vehicle. This combination provides customers with an exceptional level of operational flexibility: the Defender can handle complex, heavy-lift tasks in deep and demanding environments (up to 1,000 meters), while the Ally offers rapid deployment for lighter missions or as a backup vehicle in the field.

This bundle reflects VideoRay's customer-first approach to innovation—delivering practical, future-proof solutions that address real-world operational needs. Whether you're working offshore, conducting hull inspections, or supporting tactical missions, the Defender + Ally package gives you the adaptability and confidence to handle a wide range of underwater challenges with ease.

With VideoRay's continued focus on modularity, rugged reliability, and responsive customer support, investing in a Mission Specialist system today means you're ready for the missions of tomorrow.
