Search and Recovery (SAR) experts worldwide rely on the SRS FUSION Hybrid ROV to lead time-sensitive missions. When every second counts, the FUSION delivers unmatched performance by combining high-end navigation—including GNSS, DVL, and integrated USBL—with advanced imaging sensors to locate targets with surgical precision.
Underwater searches in rivers, lakes, and oceans are often hindered by zero visibility and dangerous currents. The FUSION Hybrid vehicle streamlines the search and recovery process, significantly reducing risk to personnel and minimizing diver exposure to hazardous conditions.
The FUSION simplifies the process of locating both small and large targets. By combining forward-looking imaging sonar, side-scan sonar, and high-resolution video into a single intuitive interface, our custom software ensures that operators can identify objects faster and more accurately than with standard ROV systems.
In extreme environments, traditional ROVs face the risk of total vehicle loss if a tether is severed. The FUSION's hybrid functionality mitigates this risk. Equipped with an advanced USBL subsystem and integrated acoustic modem, the FUSION can receive AUV control commands even if the physical link is cut, ensuring the vehicle—and its gathered data—can be recovered safely.
Search times are drastically reduced thanks to our innovative Nadir Gap Filler technology. The FUSION is the only ROV globally equipped with this feature, which eliminates the "blind spot" directly beneath the vehicle during side-scan surveys. This allows for comprehensive, 100% coverage of large water bodies in a single pass.
Bringing Closure to Families
SAR missions are more than just technical operations; they are about providing answers. The FUSION empowers teams to operate with maximum efficiency to deliver closure as swiftly as possible.
