The RSV (Remote Survey Vehicle) is an unmanned surface vehicle developed by the founders of Marine Tech SAS since 2008.
Features
Engineered and designed as an autonomous and robust marine surface platform, the RSV can operate several oceanographic sensors simultaneously to achieve measurements, exploration of aquatic environment and hydrographic survey.{{cite web|url=http://en.marinetech.fr/Marine-survey-USV#a380/|title=Unmanned Surface Vehicle RSV|date=10 January 2017|work=Marine Tech}}
Fitted with a high resolution infrared camera, the RSV can also be considered as an autonomous platform for surveillance and security of sensitive areas (ports protection, specific areas monitoring or observation of unsafe events for humans).{{cite web|url=http://en.marinetech.fr/Marine-survey-USV#a392|title=RSV, security and surveillance applications|date=10 January 2017|work=Marine Tech}}
With an autonomy varying from 4h to 48h, the RSV is a size-optimized and user-friendly USV, remotely controlled or autopiloted.
Data measured are transmitted and visualized/controlled in real time by the distant operator.
The range of RSV allows operating:
- in difficult access areas (dams, rivers, shallow water, canals, etc.),
- offshore.{{cite web|url=http://www.navaldrones.com/Remote-Survey-Vehicle.html|title= Naval Drones, Remote Survey Vehicle USV|publisher=|work=Naval Drones|accessdate=10 January 2017}}
The RSV allows ROV deployment for subsea observation and monitoring.
RSV are manufactured and produced in France by Marine Tech SAS.{{cite web|url=http://en.marinetech.fr/|title=Marine Tech SAS|date=10 January 2017|work=Marine Tech}}
