COAST GUARD OPERATIONS

We take great pride in stating that the SRS FUSION is the chosen ROV for the U.S. Coast Guard and has been embraced by Coast Guards worldwide. The vital work performed by Coast Guard Forces in safeguarding our waters and shores is paramount, and we are thrilled that the FUSION plays a crucial role in these efforts.

HOW IS THE FUSION USED BY COAST GUARDS?

Poor visibility in rivers, lakes, and oceans make underwater operations hazardous and time-consuming for professional Search and Recovery divers.  The SRS FUSION Hybrid ROV reduces risk for Coast Guard personnel and streamlines the search process while minimizing exposure to dangerous conditions.

UNDERWATER SURVEY
The FUSION excels in efficiently surveying vast water areas thanks to its integrated sensors. Many Coast Guards opt to enhance their FUSION with the optional side scan sonar payload, providing them with a uniquely equipped ROV for swift underwater surveys to detect and intercept potential threats around our ports and harbors.

TARGET LOCATION
With its standard integrated suite of sensors, the FUSION simplifies the process of locating both small and large targets during search and recovery missions, surpassing many other ROVs. Our custom software seamlessly combines these sensors to enhance the speed, efficiency, and safety of these critical operations.

MARINE PROTECTED AREAS
By utilizing the advanced technology of the FUSION ROV, Coast Guards worldwide are able to effectively safeguard Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) against potential threats. The ROV's ability to navigate through poor water visibility and challenging underwater conditions ensures that these vital ecological habitats remain protected and undisturbed. With the FUSION at their disposal, Coast Guards can conduct thorough surveillance and monitoring operations, guaranteeing the safety and wellbeing of these critical marine environments.

Coast Guard members globally bravely safeguard our coastlines daily by detecting and halting illegal activities near our ports and harbors. Here at SRS, we take pride in providing a tool that enhances the safety of their vital work.

SHIP HULL INSPECTION
By combining the cutting-edge Blueprint Subsea Oculus Imaging Sonar and Reach Robotics HD Camera, inspecting a ship's hull has never been more seamless. Ships can be vulnerable to explosives, parasitic devices, and used as hiding spots for illicit substances, performing high-resolution vessel surveys play a crucial role in the Coast Guard's operations.

PORT AND HARBOR INSPECITON
Coast Guards diligently ensure that harbors and ports remain free from debris, hazards to navigation, and potential threats as part of their essential daily operations. The FUSION proves again and again to be a vital tool for Coast Guards globally, enabling quick and comprehensive surveys of large water areas, regardless of water visibility levels.  

DIVER WATER SAFETY
Many Coast Guard teams rely on their divers to recover objects and evidence in risky operations. Utilizing the FUSION in the search area allows dive teams to assess any potential hazards to the diver, enhancing operational safety of diving in dangerous waters.

KEY BENEFITS OF FUSION TO COAST GUARD OPERATIONS:

  • Enables large areas of water to be surveyed quickly,
  • Reduces time in the water for your divers,
