UNDERWATER ROBOT DEPLOYS REMOTE EXPLOSIVE

Description

An underwater robot could soon be saving lives at sea for the Royal Navy and prevent adversaries from sabotaging undersea cables and pipelines. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) has been adapted by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and industry partners to deal with sabotage threats and clear legacy unexploded ordnance. These present hazards to both vessels and divers deployed to deal with them. Dstl has incorporated or developed a number of systems to enable the ROV to detect unexploded ordnance and remotely place explosive charges to enable safe neutralization. Dstl’s science and technology is vital to keeping our Armed Forces safe and the UK secure. Its mission is to deliver operational advantage at pace, shape the defence and security landscape, prepare for the future, leverage and influence internationally. Dstl gives the UK a battle-winning edge across science, technology, cyber and information. It offers expert advice allied to inside knowledge, and underpinned by deep operational understanding of defence and security needs.
