VALOR ROV
VALOR ROV
The VALOR (Versatile and Lightweight Observation ROV) is the most powerful Observation ROV available in its class.
The standard system has been built to a depth rating of 300m, however the unique design of this platform allows the vehicle to be extended up to 1000m with simple modifications.
The versatility of VALOR is limitless given the significant payload, unrivalled power capability and available bandwidth allowing the ROV to manage complex tooling and sensor packages.
