The state-of-the-art SRS FUSION ROV is an indispensable tool relied upon by Border Force and Customs teams worldwide for their critical operations.

SHIP HULL INSPECTION
By combining the cutting-edge Blueprint Subsea Oculus Imaging Sonar and Reach Robotics HD Camera, inspecting a ship's hull  has never been more seamless. Given that ships can be vulnerable to explosives and used as hiding spots for illicit substances, these surveys play a crucial role in preventative operations.

BALLAST TANK INSPECTION
In the same vein as ship hull inspections, the FUSION seamlessly employs the cutting-edge Blueprint Subsea Oculus Imaging Sonar and Reach Robotics HD Camera to conduct thorough inspections of ballast tanks. By maneuvering the ROV inside the tank, concealed drugs or explosives can be swiftly and effectively detected. This solidifies the FUSION's pivotal role as a crucial  asset in combating smuggling activities.

PORT AND HARBOR INSPECITON
Border and Customs teams conscientiously monitor harbors and ports as an integral part of their daily operations. The FUSION proves again and again to be a vital tool for Border Force worldwide, enabling quick and comprehensive surveys of large water areas, regardless of water visibility levels. 

DIVER WATER SAFETY
Many Border Control and Customs teams rely on their divers to recover objects and evidence in risky operations. Utilizing the FUSION in the search area allows dive teams to assess any potential hazards to the diver, as well as the current's speed and direction. This enhances the safety of diving in dangerous waters.
