The UK's Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), together with industry partners, has developed and adapted a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) that will soon be able to significantly improve maritime safety for the Royal Navy. This robot is designed to combat the threats of sabotage, as well as to detect and neutralize unexploded ordnance that poses a danger to ships and divers.
The ROV is equipped with advanced systems to detect underwater explosive devices and remotely place explosives for their safe destruction. This technology reduces risks for human personnel by minimizing the need for direct contact of divers with dangerous objects.
In addition, the robot will play a key role in protecting strategically important underwater communications, including cables and pipelines, preventing enemy attempts to disable them through sabotage.
