The Company
HAI (Hydroacoustics Inc.) is a world leader in the engineering and manufacture of unique high power, broadband, low frequency underwater acoustic sources based on continuous wave and impulsive source technology and now ROV systems.
Our product line includes hydroacoustic low frequency (HLF) sources, single and Multipulse™ Air Gun Systems, Marine Vibrator Units (MVUs) and the latest technology in underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
The Product
The Proteus Series of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) was intorduced into our product line in 2006 and represents the latest technology in the exploration, surveillance and protection of underwater environments.
These lightweight and compact ROVs are designed for a variety of underwater projects including; law enforcement applications, such as retrieval of small underwater items and rescue/recovery of victims; high risk asset security missions, such as underwater observation of port facilities; mine hunting, and underwater commercial projects; such as river and lake investigations, inspection of offshore platforms and historical research and discovery.
The Proteus Series ROVs are ideal for small boat or small platform operations. Their tether deployment systems utilize a reel and slip-ring design, making them extremely easy to launch and requiring only 1-2 personnel. The 4-axis control system makes maneuvering in tight spaces a cinch. They can operate in either fresh or salt water.
The control of the vehicle is via a joystick connected to a PC that displays the video and telemetry data.
The Proteus ROVs includes features that you won’t find on other ROVs.
- The tether diameter is the smallest in the industry – only 3 millimeters - allowing greater control and maneuverability and improved operations in stronger currents.
- The power pack resides on board the ROV. No electricity is carried through the water. This eliminates the hazard of a potential electrical shock to divers and enables operation in remote locations without the need for a generator.
Any of HAI’s Proteus Series of ROVs can be customized to your specific job and application requirements. They can play a critical role in your underwater operations, especially when the environment poses too great a risk for divers or when the infrastructure may not allow accessibility any other way.
All Proteus ROVs come with 3-year warranty – the best in the industry!
