Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) are pleased to announce that their quality system has recently been accredited to the ISO 9001:2005 quality standard. The scope of the accreditation is for the “design and manufacture of the intelligent FUSION underwater robotic system, deployed by military, civil and commercial operators in a range of underwater search and target acquisition roles.”
Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) have been awarded a contract by the U.S. Coast Guard to replace their existing compact ROV fleet with SRS FUSION vehicles. The vehicles will be used by the Coast Guard in a multitude of ways to support, augment and enhance their Statutory Mission responsibilities within the Department of Homeland Security. The vehicles will be delivered to multiple sites throughout the United States.
Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) is pleased to announce the United States Navy has chosen to procure the company’s FUSION unmanned underwater vehicle to be their future explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with initial deliveries commencing in the third quarter of 2019.
Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) worked with The Blueprint Lab to integrate dual five (5) function arms called Reach 5 on the FUSION. The unique Reach 5 arms provide responsive, multifunction capability to the FUSION. A custom quick release skid was designed that attaches to the picatinny rails on FUSION in only a few minutes.
Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) assisted in locating a missing person. The missing person was reported to have drowned in close to 60 meters (200ft) of water with only approximate last known location available. Statistically the average person in calm water will not drift more than 1 meter per meter of depth. Using the approximate entrance to the water it was possible to create a radius to search.
The initial FUSION design saw sidescan sonar transducers potted into the transducer pod underneath the vehicle and was only available on the Hybrid AUV version of FUSION. A design change has been made that removes the sidescan sonar transducers from the underside and allows them to be mounted to the picatinny rails on the side. The transducers can be mounted in a couple minutes and requires no tools. All FUSION...
Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) was pleased to be invited to participate in the inaugural L3 OceanServer User Conference held in San Diego, CA. The user conference was established to share user success stories, Iver product development and third party integrations. Throughout the first day were a number of informative presentations from Iver operators and the L3 OceanServer team. SRS also presented about the use of...
Nortek AS of Norway is the manufacturer of the Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) that is used in the FUSION systems. A well made video has been produced by Nortek that illustrates the importance of the DVL through an interview with Dr. Antonio Pascoal of the Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST) in Lisbon, Portugal. IST is responsible for the control and navigation algorithms found in the FUSION systems.
