Submersible - Wikipedia
WEBA submersible is an underwater vehicle which needs to be transported and supported by a larger watercraft or platform. This distinguishes submersibles from submarines, which are self-supporting and capable of prolonged independent operation at sea. [1]
Submersibles: NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research
WEBThree main types of submersibles have been used on recent NOAA Ocean Exploration-supported missions: human-occupied vehicles (HOVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
Unmanned underwater vehicle - Wikipedia
WEBUnmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), also known as uncrewed underwater vehicles and underwater drones, [1] are submersible vehicles that can operate underwater without a human occupant. These vehicles may be divided into two categories: remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
HOV Alvin - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
WEBAug 8, 2024 · Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) Alvin is part of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF). Alvin enables in-situ data collection and observation by two scientists to depths reaching 6,500 meters, during dives lasting up to ten hours. Commissioned in 1964 as one of the world’s first deep-ocean submersibles, Alvin has remained state-of-the ...
Remotely Operated Vehicles - NOAA Ocean Exploration
WEBRemotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, are submersible robots that allow us to explore the ocean without actually being in the ocean. ROVs are connected to a ship through a series of long cables called a tether.
Human-occupied Vehicles - NOAA Ocean Exploration
WEBHuman-occupied vehicles (HOVs) work around this problem, making the impossible a reality. HOVs are submersibles that bring a small group of scientists, pilots, and electronic equipment down in the water column and onto the seafloor, allowing in …
Underwater Vehicles - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
WEBThe autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry is a fully autonomous underwater vehicle capable of exploring the ocean down to 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) depth. Sentry's hydrodynamic shape also allows faster ascents and descents.
Manta Ray - Northrop Grumman
WEBNorthrop Grumman has been pioneering capabilities in the undersea domain for more than 50 years. Now, we are creating a new class of uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUV) with Manta Ray.
Remotely operated underwater vehicle - Wikipedia
WEBA remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV)[citation needed] or remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a free-swimming submersible craft used to perform underwater observation, inspection and physical tasks such as valve operations, hydraulic functions and other general tasks within the subsea oil and gas industry, military, scientific and other ...
