Overview & Features
The GNOM Standard is a remote controlled underwater vehicle (ROV) with live video, it can be equipped with single or double function grabber arm as well as
scan sector sonar (Micron Tritech or similar), altimeter, etc. More powerful
thrusters and additional illumination installed on the GNOM Standard expand range
of vehicle applications. It has a small size, 4mm thin umbilical cable and very high manoeuvring
capability which allows operating in hard-to-reach places including
inside sunken wrecks.
Many of
the
tasks assigned to work class ROVs – or human divers – is shallow (less
than 300m) and involves searching, inspecting, or surveying underwater. These
tasks are ideally suited to GNOM mini ROV technology. Smaller, lighter,
ROVs that consume very little power can be deployed from many different
areas
or rigs and ships. Since they have very little mass, they can be safely
used on
comparatively delicate machinery without fear of damage.
The GNOM Standard-02 ROV is ideal for small boat and platform operations, where a single operator or quick launch is required. Launching simply involves heaving the submersible by hand into the water. They
can be deployed in sea states that would be too dangerous for larger machines.
Their thrust to weight ratio for a small tether means that mini ROVs can be
handle more current than most work class ROVs in shallow waters.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
-
The vehicle has horizontal and vertical thrusters and can move underwater in all directions.
-
The vehicle is operated from the topside control console via thin umbilical cable using joystick based on video and data from depth sensor on a TV screen.
-
Its maximum operation depth is 150 m.
-
This ROV comes with one onboard high resolution, low light sensitivity [low Lux] colour camera,
mounted forward facing, and it´s able to vertically tilt +/-50°
-
Two forward LED light heads, with variable
intensity, are installed on both sides of the vehicle.
-
The vehicle can be connected to video display, TV or/and video recorder via standard cable.
-
Maximum power consumption is 300 Watt.
-
The vehicle components are protected within a robust
crash frame assembly constructed of light weight, and durable marine compatible
polyethylene material.
-
The complete system is packed into two plastic cases; one case contains the underwater vehicle and cable reel, another – control and power supply module, LCD monitor and joystick.
-
The size of operating area is limited by cable length. It is possible to increase the cable length up to 250 m.
-
The video camera together with lights provides 6-20 m daylight visibility in the transparent water. Maximum 6-9m visibility can be reached during the night.
-
Videorecorder can be installed upon request.
-
High powered rare earth magnetic couplers means there are no dynamic seals on this system, for maximum leak protection.
-
The GNOM Baby has been designed and manufactured using high quality components to withstand harsh environments.
-
The small size of this system allows a single
person to carry it to any remote launch site, it can be easily deployed
on small opportunistic platforms, including:
kayaks, canoes, and other small vessels.
-
The entire package is very compact and less then 25 kg, so checking it through the airport is easy.
