The
RCV-150
system consists of the vehicle and launching garage, a winch/A-frame unit,
and the associated power and control consoles. The system has been upgraded
from the original design to incorporate fiber optic data transmission. The
vehicle's compact hydrodynamic design and neutrally bouyant tether cable
permit close up inspections with a high degree of maneuverability. The
vehicle can operate to depths of 914 m (3000 ft). Color video and a single
manipulator are standard equipment on the RCV-150. The investigator can
record video and vehicle data (depth, heading, etc.) and can verbally
annotate the recording in real time. Other equipment may be adapted for use
on the ROV.
