Rental of the underwater photogrammetry device "HYDRO 100" compatible with small ROVs has started
XOCEAN provides ocean data acquisition services around the world using USVs (Uncrewed Surface Vessels).
Our USVs are equipped with various marine survey sensors, including multibeam echosounders (MBES), sub-bottom profilers (SBP), side-scan sonar (SSS), and magnetometers, enabling us to meet a wide range of survey needs, from seabed topography and geology surveys to offshore wind power generation, submarine cables, and marine infrastructure.
By remotely monitoring and operating USVs from land bases via satellite communications, we can reduce manned operations at sea, improve safety, acquire data efficiently, and reduce environmental impact. Furthermore, the ability to operate multiple USVs simultaneously allows for flexible responses to large-scale surveys.
Scythe Gadget combines advanced USV technology, including that of XOCEAN, with marine survey sensors to propose a safer and more efficient next-generation marine survey solution that does not rely solely on conventional manned research vessels.
Uncrewed. Efficient. Sustainable.
Making marine research safer and more efficient.

Rental of the underwater photogrammetry device "HYDRO 100" compatible with small ROVs has started
Example of HYDRO100 installed on ROV SRV-8
We have started renting out the underwater photogrammetry device "HYDRO 100" from IVM Technologies (France).
With the battery-operated HYDRO100 and small observation-class ROVs*1, high-precision 3D measurement of underwater structures has become more accessible, so we will begin rentals to allow many people involved in measurement work to experience the measurement process.
When you start renting, we will explain how to use the machine and then provide you with a quote based on the rental period and your requests for modeling data processing.
Please feel free to contact us for more details.
*1 BlueROV2 class or higher is recommended. Compatible with 14.8V batteries for BlueROV2 and other drone batteries.
