With proficiency, the time can average about 30 to 60 minutes.

What kind of Sonar can be added to the Nova Ray® ROV?

The Nova Ray® ROV is a multi-function platform designed to integrate customer specified data management and imaging add-ons. The Nova Ray® is sonar ready to include:

  • Forward Scan Sonar-Nose mounted, with flexible capabilities to meet specific project needs: set to 360 degree continuous rotation, or set to sector which is 180 degrees, or set the sector size in 3 degree increments.
  • Side Scan Sonar - Mounted on runners at the proper angle for full coverage. Optional mounts available for added cost.

Does the Nova Ray® have a Tracking System?

Our Command and Control system accurately communicates what the Nova Ray® is doing. The company is in discussions with manufacturers to develop a compatible transponder that integrates a tracking and guidance system. Short Baseline (SBL) and ultra short baseline systems currently available on the market can be integrated into the system.

What is the maximum Depth?

The Nova Ray® rating is 300 meters or 1,000 feet. Additional depth can be accommodated with some modification of the ROV.

  • ROV: The Nova Ray® packs compactly and easily into two cases with telescoping handles and wheels (the umbilical is in a third case). The cases meet current commercial airline luggage size requirements (inside dimensions: 27" L x 19" W x 12" H).

Control Console: The watertight Control Console has a telescoping handle and wheels, and conforms to airline carry-on luggage limits (inside dimensions: 19" L x 14.50" W x 7.62" H).
