ROTV

ISIIS BoxKite XG is a third generation Remotely Operated Towed Vehicle (ROTV) designed to be operated from a surface ship with a high bandwidth fiber-optic winch/tow cable.

 

Deployed from a wide range of traditional vessels, ISIIS BoxKite enables to conduct a broad spectrum of surveys with multi-sensor operations (bathymetric, geophysical, magnetics and biological survey operations).

 

Bellamare’s ROTV technology is rooted in high performance/high reliability motion control and an efficient footprint for a maximum array of instruments, from sonars (side scan or multibeam) to magnetometers, cameras, and many more.

 

The ISIIS design offers an unprecedented data stream of 5 Gigabits/sec to collect the data in real time and offer unique data acquisition strategies to ensure full and unbroken survey coverage in a single pass, even with difficult surface conditions.
