V8 M500 

The V8 M500 Intervention is the original six degrees of freedom ROV and still, seven years later, the only ROV with a control system that allows a full 360 degrees with maintained platform stability.

The V8 M500 is a small and nimble inspection class ROV with the unique capability to manoeuvre with six degrees of freedom. The small size and significant power of the V8 M500 make it ideal for use in a wide range of tasks, and the capability to rotate 360 degrees in any dimension without losing stability is tremendously advantageous for sonar and video inspections as it allows the profile of sea floor, ship hull or subsea structure to be followed regardless of angle.

V8 L3000

The V8 L3000 Offshore is the first vehicle to be based on the brand-new Ocean Modules third-generation ROV platform, quipped with the same V8 360° control system software of its predecessors.

For customers who require an inspection class ROV that dives deeper and carries a greater payload Ocean Modules offers the V8 L3000. The V8 L3000 uses the same control system as the M500 and therefore has same manoeuvrability and stability. The V8 L3000 has a maximum diving depth of 3000 meters and numerous electrical and data interfaces. With fibre optic communications and configurable communications ports that enable interfaces for Ethernet, Serial ports RS 232/485, HD-video and analogue data.

Ocean Modules V8 360 degrees concept

Ocean Modules founder Claes Drougge envisioned the original V8 360° concept around the turn of the millennium.

In the years since the prototype was first demonstrated to the US Navy, the vectored thruster configuration, the advanced control system, the cutting-edge pilot environment, the SPOT.ON survey management software, autonomous operation through SPOT.ON Cruise Control, integrated containerised LARS/TMS and customer-developed applications have all come together to form an important part of the Air & Sea concept.
