The ProteusTM Series…
                …Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles!

The Proteus Series of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) represents the latest technology in the exploration, surveillance and protection of underwater environments. With the smallest tether available, the Proteus ROV’s can go further, and are more maneuverable in currents, than any other ROV in its class.

These lightweight and compact ROVs are designed for law enforcement applications (such as retrieval of small underwater items and rescue/recovery of victims), in high risk asset security missions (such as underwater observation of port facilities, military sea vessels and location of mine-like objects) and underwater commercial projects (such as river and lake investigations, inspection of offshore platforms and historical research and discovery).

The Proteus Series ROVs are ideal for small boat or small platform operations. Their tether deployment systems utilize a reel and slip-ring design, making them extremely easy to launch and requiring only 1-2 personnel. The 4-axis control system makes maneuvering in tight spaces a cinch. They can operate in either fresh or salt water.

The Proteus ROVs include features that you won't find on other ROVs.

  • The tether diameter is the smallest in the industry – only 3.5 millimeters - allowing greater control and maneuverability and improved operations in stronger currents.
  • The power pack resides on board the ROV. No electricity is carried through the water. This eliminates the hazard of a potential electrical shock to divers and enables operation in remote locations without the need for a generator.

All Proteus ROVs come with a 3-year warranty – the best in the industry!

Any of HAI's Proteus Series of ROVs can be customized to your specific job and application requirements. They can play a critical role in your underwater operations, especially when the environment poses too great a risk for divers or when the infrastructure may not allow accessibility any other way.
