Thanks to its six-axis control and powerful thruster configuration, the Defender allows users to maintain accurate positioning in difficult environments—reducing operator fatigue and improving mission success rates.
The Defender’s modular architecture allows rapid configuration for a wide range of tasks. Components like cameras, sensors, and manipulators can be easily swapped or upgraded, reducing downtime and expanding capability across multiple missions.
With the option for long-range fibre optic tethers and on-board battery power, the Defender can access hard-to-reach sites without relying on complex surface power setups—unlocking operational flexibility wherever the work takes you.
The Defender pairs robust construction with a modular design to deliver high-performance results in demanding underwater environments. Its full HD camera, integrated navigation sensors, and seven thrusters ensure precise control, clear visuals, and reliable data capture across a wide range of subsea tasks.
Easily configurable platform with swappable components for rapid setup and mission flexibility.
Provides full six-axis control for superior manoeuvrability in strong currents and confined spaces.
Delivers sharp, low-light imagery with a wide field of view—ideal for detailed inspections.
Includes depth, heading, and optional DVL sensors for precise positioning and control.
Operates up to 1,500 metres with fibre optic tether for long-range missions.
Supports a wide range of tools and sensors, including sonar, manipulators, and Atlantas Marine’s Storm camera.
VideoRay Mission Specialist Series vehicles are designed and built with flexibility in mind. The modular design enables easy maintenance and seamless integration with a variety of tools for a custom solution to your underwater challenges.
