Like the smaller Tiger, the Lynx is a leading observation and inspection vehicle used by the oil and gas industry especially for missions in water depths to 1,500m.
The Lynx is fitted with two vertical and four horizontal thrusters making it a very stable platform with exceptional manoeuvrability.
A wide range of tools and sensors are available as well as interchangeable tooling skids, which are powered by a dedicated tooling power supply unit.
The Lynx vehicle is available as a free swimmer or can operate in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS).
Six thrusters provide a stable platform with an increase in vertical thrust for deep water and platform inspection projects.
Fibre optic data and video transmission with up to four simultaneous video channels available including an HD camera option.
Tooling options designed to deliver results even for the most challenging of projects.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors. Additional hand control units are included with ROVs fitted with a manipulator system.
Cabin Junction Box for connections between the surface and subsea.
Fibre Optic MUX with Video, Serial Data and Ethernet interfaces. Additional MUX options available.
Available as a free-swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) for depths up to 1500m.
ROV rated to 1500m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters supplied with 250 Volts DC. The ROV pod provides interfaces for Thrusters, LED lights, multiple cameras, a depth sensor and a solid state compass, supporting vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
Deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming ROV or an A Frame Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs equipped with a TMS.
