NEW PRODUCT: Q-LED III- New Ultra Efficient LED Floodlight (February 2010)
The use of LED lamps for underwater illumination continues to be a hot topic among the ROV and diving communities. LED lamps are superior to their halogen predecessors in many ways, particularly due to their ruggedness and long lifetime.
ROS' new ultra efficient Q-LED III Floodlight's output exceeds that of a 500 watt halogen light, yet it draws significantly less power. Certified submersible to 4,000 meters the Q-LED III operates off of 120 or 220 volt AC power and is compatible with 50 or 60 Hz power and NTSC or PAL video formats. The intensity is impressive, allowing further and wider search effort visibility . more...

Duke Energy Awards $1.1 M Multi-site Contract to ROS
(Fall 2009)
In the fall of 2009 ROS installed a Quad-Side Fuel Inspection System at Oconee Nuclear Station in Seneca, SC.   All three Duke Energy nuclear sites are under contract to receive similar ROS systems.  These systems are comprised of four pods each equipped with radiation hardened, high resolution optical zoom lens cameras, remote positioning and auxiliary lighting.  The individually positioned cameras are capable of discerning a ½ mil wire at a distance of over 18 in.  The images are displayed on a high definition flat screen monitor and are recorded to an onboard DVR.  The footage can be burned to DVD, sent over the LAN to authorized workstations outside of containment, streamed over the internet or clips of interest can be copied onto a USB flash drive for maximum portability. The modular pod design ensures that there are no single points of failure.  Utilization of ROS Quad-Side Fuel Inspection Systems promotes substantial time savings during outages in an industry-wide effort to mitigate debris related fuel failures. go to top

NEW PRODUCT: MV-LED - Groundbreaking New LED Spotlight (March 2009)
LED lamps are superior to their halogen predecessors in many ways, particularly due to their ruggedness and long lifetime.
ROS' new MV-LED is innovative because it runs directly off of AC power. The fully dimmable MV-LED can be connected to the exact same power supplies and dimming circuitry previously designed for halogen lamps. Combine that with the MV-LED's variety of connector, wiring, and mounting options, and it's clear that the MV-LED is a true "drop-in" replacement for its halogen predecessors.
The compact MV-LED is a mechanically, thermally, and electrically robust lamp to be trusted for the life of a vehicle or sled. The intense-white output of the MV-LED works with all video formats, including high definition, as well as with any input power frequency. more...

NEW PRODUCT: IPTV - Networked Remote Video Inspection System (September 2008)
Maximize outage efficiency and safety with the new innovative ROS Ethernet IPTV - Networked Remote Video Inspection System. Your underwater and in-air cameras will be integrated in a single unified system that is user-friendly, modular, expandable and compatible with ROS' legacy color and rad-hardened camera systems.
This LAN-based plug & play network records video feeds onto a terabyte hot-swappable hard drive, which can be streamed out of containment for monitoring from the control room or across the globe. Authorized camera operators can also control each camera via portable wireless tablet PCs -on the refuel floor and even up on the refueling machine. Adding another camera is as simple as plugging in an Ethernet cable. The synchronization of all cameras allows for the tracking of each fuel assembly from the pool to the core. more...

NEW PRODUCT: Q-LED (1/01/08)
Remote Ocean Systems unveiled the new Q-LED underwater LED floodlight at Underwater Intervention 2008. The compact Q-LED operates on 120 or 240 volt AC power, yet fits in the same compact footprint as Remote Ocean Systems’ trusted QL-3000 floodlight, which has been a mainstay of the ROV industry for more than 3 decades. Operators can now upgrade their vehicles by installing the “plug and play” dimmable Q-LED lights in place of their old halogen lights, using the same wiring. The Q-LED is depth rated to 3000 meters, and has an output equivalent to that of a 250 watt halogen light. The Q-LED’s first scheduled maintenance is at the 5-year mark. go to top

NEW PRODUCT: SuperView (2/01/08)
The versatile SuperView System is the perfect choice for all your PWR or BWR inspection needs. It combines a shielded stainless color zoom camera with a rugged pan/tilt and 75w spotlights, generally deployed via a pole system. This compact design allows for easy access in tight spaces such as around the jet pump area. more...

NEW PRODUCT: ATLAS Heavy-duty Positioning Pedesta (11/1/06)
In response to a strong interest from both military and commercial customers, ROS has developed a new heavy-duty positioning unit. The new ATLAS unit offers unparalleled stability, ruggedness, and accuracy for large payload applications. go to top

Delivery of Quad-Viewing System (9/15/06)
In Fall 2006 ROS custom-designed a fuel inspection system for a US nuclear utility which saved a significant amount of critical path outage time. The Quad-Viewing system employed four RTC-3 radiation tolerant zoom cameras mounted on PT-5 positioners, with WDL-75 wet/dry lights. These four viewing stations were mounted on a custom-designed cage frame which was deployed within the fuel transfer canal, adjacent to the upender. The system was used to inspect all four sides of each fuel assembly simultaneously, as well as perform serial number verification. These four real-time video feeds were multiplexed onto a single viewing console, and broadcast over the plant's Local Area Network, such that engineers and operators could monitor fuel activity both inside and out of the containment area. Outage engineers reported that the system reduced the critical path fuel inspection time by about 10 hours. more...

NEW PRODUCT: "European" Control Units (9/1/06)
ROS is very excited to announce that we now offer our IC-15, PTC, CLC, RC, and LC controllers in "European" configurations which are CE-certified and operate on 230v/50Hz input power. go to top

Radiation Tolerant Cameras (7/15/06)
Remote Ocean Systems is now the exclusive distributor for Diakont radiation tolerant cameras, including the revolutionary D40 model, in both the US and Canada. The D40 camera has become the worldwide "gold standard" in Rad-tolerant cameras due to its high resolution, durability, modular design, ease of use, and high operating temperature range. go to top
