The Deep Trekker REVOLUTION is the most intuitive and stable ROV for underwater surveys and inspections, built tough to survive harsh underwater conditions to accomplish complex missions. The revolving head provides unmatched flexibility for key attachments, allowing you to rotate your imaging sonar, ultra high definition camera and grabber to get the optimal angle depending on the task at hand.
The defining feature is the 260-degree revolving head at the front of the vehicle. Equipped with an ultra high definition camera that you can view from on your controller, as well as powerful LED floodlights and a laser scaler.
Adjust the angle of your camera, lights, laser scaler, imaging sonar and grabber to ensure optimal positioning for your application. Sweep an area with the imaging sonar in a search mission or to locate targets on the seafloor.
The ROV is propelled by six powerful thrusters, two of which are vertically mounted for precise vertical movements and depth holding, four of the thrusters are mounted horizontally and in a vectored configuration to allow for lateral movements. This configuration of thrusters is great for holding in heavier currents and for stable control when making fine adjustments while performing an inspection or survey.
The REVOLUTION is powered by two Lithium Ion battery tubes on the bottom of the ROV. The batteries last for up to 6 hours and included in the package is a spare set of batteries. The battery tubes or skis can be interchanged very quickly to keep your operations up and running. At the front of the skis are additional LED floodlights for even better illumination.
The BRIDGE software enables you to see and record data from many different sensors all from a handheld controller.
When you add positional sensors such as the USBL, you can see your position on screen via a Google map and record your position as it changes over time along with the video and your other sensor data.
Imaging sonars are also integrated directly on the handheld, allowing you to see and record sonar data side by side with your position and video footage.
The carbon fiber shell, anodized aluminum, stainless steel body and sapphire lens cover make the REVOLUTION a rugged and durable machine.
The thrusters utilize an innovative design called magnetic coupling, the propeller assembly and drive motor are connected together using magnets, meaning that the thrusters are very durable, they do not wear down over time and they do not require ongoing maintenance as other thrusters often do require oiling, greasing or regular replacement.
Above the camera head is an optional mount for a multibeam imaging sonar. Use the sonar to get a visual through murky water or over longer distances, monitor your sonar footage live and record it alongside your video all on your handheld controller, no extra laptops or monitors required.
Below the camera is a two function grabber with interchangeable claws for sampling, measuring, recoveries or tool manipulation.
The Revolution NAV Package transforms underwater inspections with advanced navigation and mission-planning capabilities. Featuring USBL and DVL sensors, this package enables real-time tracking of the ROV’s position on a detailed map, allowing operators to log points of interest, leave navigational trails, and execute pre-programmed routes with Mission Planner software.
These tools simplify piloting, enabling operators to focus on camera and sonar feeds for more effective underwater surveys. Additional features include auto-depth and altitude functionality, GPX and CSV data export for precise location logging, and unmatched stabilization to station hold against currents.
With its revolving head, enhanced 4K camera, and flexible attachment options, the NAV Package ensures unparalleled versatility and accuracy. A service parts kit and extended two-year warranty provide a comprehensive and reliable solution for demanding underwater missions.
Take underwater inspections to the next level with the Revolution Recon Package, designed for superior shallow-water performance. Featuring dead reckoning technology, automatic station holding, and advanced navigation tools, this package enhances precision in demanding conditions.
It includes the SensorPod+ for comprehensive environmental data, the A50 DVL for accurate velocity measurements, and ROV GPS for precise location tracking. A two-jaw manipulator enables versatile object handling and recovery.
Paired with intuitive BRIDGE software for seamless sensor integration, the Recon Package offers unparalleled tracking and data logging capabilities, perfect for murky waters and challenging currents. Includes a service parts kit and a two-year extended warranty for complete peace of mind.
Engineered for emergency response teams, the Revolution SAR Package delivers the ultimate ROV solution for search and recovery missions. Equipped with a 260-degree rotating sonar and grabber head, this system excels at locating and retrieving objects with precision.
The integrated multibeam imaging sonar provides high-resolution visuals, allowing operators to detect targets even in murky or low-visibility water conditions. Sonar data can be viewed and recorded directly alongside video footage on the handheld controller, eliminating the need for extra equipment. Mission Planner software enhances navigation by tracking the ROV’s position, marking points of interest, and optimizing mission efficiency.
With superior stabilization, six powerful thrusters, and a durable carbon-fiber build, the Revolution SAR is a reliable choice for the most challenging underwater environments. Includes quick-swap batteries and an extended two-year warranty for uninterrupted, long-term performance.
