Deep Ocean Engineering

Deep Ocean Engineering provides integrated robotic solutions and products for underwater applications and for work on the water surface, focusing on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). The company designs, builds, and tests its ROVs at its plant in Silicon Valley, California, and its vehicles work in diverse and harsh operating environments. Its business spans both vehicle manufacturing and support for a wide range of uses, with products intended for scientific research, education, offshore oil and gas, fisheries, broadcast filming, nuclear inspection, military, security, law enforcement, and other underwater or water-surface tasks. The company manufactures multiple product families rather than a single model. Its ROV line covers compact, portable, and inspection-class systems, along with vehicles built to be powerful, expandable, rugged, easy to maintain, and operator friendly. Its USV line covers remote-controlled boats used for measurements and surveys on rivers, lakes, ports, harbors, and other waterways. The company can build for many applications and provides integrated ROV/USV solutions, including sensor options and mission-planning capabilities for certain vehicles. The breadth of deployment areas it serves stands out. Its work covers nuclear outage support, where specific ROVs suit BWR and PWR facilities; law enforcement and emergency response, where agencies use its ROVs for multiple applications; homeland security and military uses; science and environmental work such as species surveys, bathymetry, discharge monitoring, and water quality surveys; municipalities handling water projects, dams, and water tanks; surveying; oil and gas; and cinematography. The company has supplied more than 600 ROV systems in over thirty countries worldwide. Deep Ocean Engineering combines in-house engineering, manufacturing, and testing with a product range aimed at practical inspection, measurement, and survey tasks in underwater and surface environments. Its vehicles work as rugged, compact, and adaptable systems that can carry different sensors and take on specialized missions across industrial, public safety, scientific, and media markets.
