High-Power Underwater Remote Operated Vehicle

More power, more payload, more mission flexibility. The SRV-8X is a larger, higher-output remotely operated vehicle (ROV) built for demanding underwater operations in stronger currents and deeper water, without sacrificing portability or ease of use. It’s designed for professional users who need reliable manoeuvrability, expanded accessory integration, and repeatable performance across inspection, search, recovery, and intervention tasks.

Powered by eight large brushless thrusters, the SRV-8X delivers intuitive piloting with integrated sensor and accessory workflows.

Why teams choose the SRV-8X

• Built for strong currents: higher power and payload capability for tougher offshore and high-current work.
• Deepwater capable: depth rated to 305 m, with a 500 m option available.
• High-visibility imaging: 1080p camera (4K optional) plus 4 lights for a total of 6,000 lumens with dimming control.
• Mission endurance: dual hot-swappable battery modules with 6–8 hours runtime (usage dependent).
• Accessory-ready platform: supports common professional add-ons such as imaging sonar, USBL, DVL, and NDT tools.
• Intuitive, user-friendly ROV software.
