The TORTUGA is a 500 m class inspection ROV developed for technical missions in constrained environments: offshore operations, port infrastructure, hydraulic structures, and complex industrial inspections.

Thanks to its optimized hydrodynamic architecture and high-precision azimuth control, it maintains exceptional stability even in strong currents.

 

Key Features

  • Inspection capability down to 500 m

  • Stable in currents up to 3 knots

  • Azimuth control architecture

  • Configurable multi-sensor platform

The TORTUGA integrates a propulsion configuration designed to ensure precise station-keeping, even in dynamic environments.


XP4 Version

  • 4 horizontal thrusters (15 kg thrust each)

  • 4 vertical thrusters

  • Excellent station-keeping capability

  • Optimized thrust-to-weight ratio


STD Version

  • 4 horizontal thrusters

  • 2 vertical thrusters

This architecture ensures:

  • Optimal stability

  • High maneuverability in confined spaces

  • Precise control for close-range inspections

The XP4 version offers up to 30 kg payload capacity, allowing simultaneous integration of specialized sensors and tools.

The TORTUGA can integrate:

  • 2D imaging and scanning sonars

  • Profiling sonar

  • USBL positioning

  • DVL

  • Side-scan sonar

  • Thickness measurement systems

  • 3D photogrammetry

  • 2 to 5-function manipulator arm

  • Cleaning tools

  • Laser measurement systems

  • Automatic navigation & waypoint mode

Each configuration is tailored to the mission requirements:
visual inspection, NDT, modeling, long-range inspection, or offshore monitoring.

The TORTUGA communication system has been designed to reduce drag and maximize operational range.

Standard Tether

  • 300 m floating tether

  • Reduced diameter: 9.5 mm

  • CPL communication

Fiber Optic Extension

  • Extended range beyond 500 m

  • Option up to 3000 m

  • Real-time video & data transmission

This system enables:

  • Reduced drag in currents

  • Improved stability

  • Significantly increased inspection radius
