PROTOTYPE OF THE AUTONOMOUS DRONE-ASSISTED SUBMARINE DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM
Abstract
Abstract - This article addresses the challenges associated with deploying remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in lakes, where conventional methods involve the transportation of the ROV using a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) and manual lowering of the ROV from the vessel. The main issue arises when encountering lakes located in remote areas where transporting the carrier RIB becomes impractical or inconvenient. This article proposes a solution in the form of an autonomous drone that hovers or lands in the middle of the lake to deploy the ROV. The ROV remains connected to the drone via a cable, allowing it to explore underwater areas while the operator remains on the shore, eliminating the need for RIB operations. The landing mechanism of the drone employs a custom underwater floatation system, ensuring stability and preventing capsizing. This innovative approach offers an efficient solution for ROV deployment in remote lake environments, reducing logistical complexities and improving accessibility for underwater exploration and research.
