EIVA ScanFish ROTV series

EIVA ScanFish ROTV series

Modular intelligent drag platform reshapes efficient underwater detection

The EIVA ScanFish series is a highly modular remotely operated towed underwater platform (ROTV) designed specifically for modern ocean surveys. This series combines precision flight control technology with diverse sensor load capabilities, providing a comprehensive solution from marine science research, geophysical exploration to underwater engineering exploration. ScanFish ROTV has excellent stability and precise trajectory tracking capabilities, and can be equipped with various sensors including CTD, magnetometer, and side scan sonar. It automatically flies in preset depth or terrain tracking mode to ensure data acquisition quality. Its modular concept is deeply integrated with the NaviSuite software ecosystem at the core of EIVA, forming an integrated workflow from task planning, real-time collection, processing to result delivery.

Selection recommendations:

  • ScanFish Rocio: Suitable for general tasks that require multi parameter and multidisciplinary oceanographic observations, it is an ideal platform for scientific research and environmental monitoring.
  • ScanFish Katria: Designed specifically for underwater UXO surveys and magnetic exploration, its wide scan mode and optimization for magnetometers make it highly efficient in this field.
  • ScanFish XL: When the mission requires the use of large or heavy survey equipment (such as large side scan sonar, shallow profiling arrays), XL is an irreplaceable choice.
  • Equinox: The ultimate solution for users pursuing the highest standards of high-resolution side scan sonar data, particularly suitable for critical UXO troubleshooting and fine seabed classification projects.
  • 3D Steering: This is a key upgrade option that can significantly improve the performance of most ScanFish models. For any application that requires precise path tracking in complex water areas, such as cable inspection and terrain tracking, it is strongly recommended to configure it.
