BENTHIC HABITAT SURVEY
With an Environmental Scientist piloting the ROV, you can be certain that AUS-ROV can deliver in the field of science. We have conducted numerous benthic habitat surveys for environmental agencies and Government Departments and produce high quality, visually stimulating, professional reports including species identification services. Our USBL GPS tracking system ensures that transects are executed with accuracy and surveys can be repeated with confidence.
Scientific instrument deployment and recovery
With advances in technology and the ability of ROVs to reach depths beyond that which human divers can safely access, a new frontier in marine research has evolved. With varying payload capabilities, ROVs can support deployment, collection and recovery of instrumentation, monitoring equipment, samples and data. AUS-ROV have played an instrumental role in successful recovery of animal tracking devices as part of the higher biological monitoring of the marine environment for the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) National Program.
Water sampling
AUS-ROV mechatronics department successfully developed and utilised a remote activated water sampling device in order to capture samples at depth. The trigger mechanism releases two spring loaded 100mL syringes per activation and the system can hold up to 10 syringes per outing. AUS-ROV has proven this system effective in the field and can can integrate the system with USBL Navigation for GPS and depth sensing for georeferencing of sample take locations.
Invasive species monitoring and neutralisation
AUS-ROV take an active interest in preservation of our marine ecosystems. Our love of the ocean has instilled us with aspiration to contribute to solving environmental challenges our planet is facing. One issue we have followed is the introduction of invasive species such as Crown of Thorns Starfish on our Great Barrier Reef. AUS-ROV has interest in collaborating with Universities and Institutes to help combat the devastating affect this species is having on our precious reef systems. We have research and development personnel to collaborate with and encourage others with similar interest to invest their ideas with our contributors. Together we can make a difference so if you are working on a solution and could benefit from ROV and Vessel operational support then please make contact with us today to discuss how we can achieve together.
DOCUMENTARY FILMING AND VIDEO PRODUCTION
AUS-ROV have the highest quality specifically designed and developed HD underwater zoom cameras which produce extremely high resolution video output. The quality of our systems, and professional delivery of our services; makes AUS-ROV a suitable candidate for any underwater filming job. We have professional media personnel available to support video editing an film production. We welcome opportunity to work with creative industries and film makers in order to deliver underwater filming that doesn't cost the earth. Contact us to discuss your project and view some high definition documentary quality video footage captured by our ROV's and skilled pilot technicians.
AUS-ROV share a passion for the environment and welcome opportunity to be involved in marine habitat and scientific surveys. With our in-house environmental scientist and botanist, you can be confident in the visual data collection and support AUS-ROV can offer your environmental project. With High Definition recording as standard, plus the option of adding 4K resolution external video camera fitted to the ROV, you can be certain AUS-ROV will enhance your scientist's capabilities when it comes to reviewing the footage for species identification and analysis.
