| Phantom DHD2 ROV |
UAS also operates a Deep
Ocean Engineering, Inc. Phantom DHD2 ROV
with an NTSC video camera, dual lights, custom aluminum crash frame and
torque balanced thrusters. It also has a radar system, altimeter and
compass. Additionally the ROV has two mounted manipulator arms. One
with two and the other with seven degrees of freedom.
The Phantom DHD2 is a boxy looking device
with several thrusters to propel it through the water in any direction.
The entire vehicle is operated topside via a control station that looks
like a set of industrial strength video game controllers.
Controlling the ROV takes a great deal of skill and common sense, and
three hands are useful too. Launching the vehicle is a team effort.
