Deep Ocean Engineering Introduces a New Light Work-Class ROV

Deep Ocean Engineering Inc. (DOE) has added a new type of Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to their already diverse and impressive product line, the Phantom® X8. This electric, light work-class, vehicle is the largest and most heavy-duty ROV manufactured by DOE and packs a robust design for deep sea maneuverability and power.

Configured with six vectored horizontal and two vertical 2.2 kW Tecnadyne brushless thrusters, the Phantom® X8 has complete control and authority in any given direction, even in the toughest currents. For clarity underwater, the Phantom® X8 boasts high definition (1080p) front (+/-90°) (pan optional) and rear (low light) cameras with 3 LED lights emitting 30,000 total Lumens with adjustable brightness controlled by the pilot control box or GUI. Auto functions for heading, altitude, depth, and positioning guide and control the ROV for diligent underwater tasks and inspections.

Diversified Applications

Deep Ocean Engineering designed the Phantom® X8 with deep sea exploration and light intervention in mind. Its performance at depths up to 1,000 meters is adaptable for various underwater tasks in any condition. Applications for the X8 include pipeline inspection/routing, offshore wind farm maintenance, infrastructure repair, survey research and many more.

Deep Ocean Engineering provides cutting edge software and other innovations not available on most other ROV platforms. The Phantom® technology is top of the line and utilized on all vehicles. The Phantom® X8 can be customized with an assortment of manipulators, umbilicals, sonars, navigational software and other desired upgrades.
