KEY INTELLIGENCE TAKEAWAYS & SUMMARY
- The ROV-DeepSea (ROV-D) system can operate at a depth of 6,000 meters, which corresponds to 97 percent of the ocean floor.
- Tests conducted in cooperation with the French Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) and the French Navy were carried out off the coast of Greece.
- Following the successful tests, the DGA has started preparations to order a second system within the scope of the France 2030 strategic vision.
New Generation Surveillance and Intervention Capability Underwater
Technical Capacity and Balances in the Field
The project, brought to life through an industrial cooperation model, once again highlighted the importance of speed and efficiency in defense procurement processes. Designed in partnership with specialized shipyards and underwater operations firms, the system underwent endurance tests in the deep waters of the Aegean and the Mediterranean, following shallow and medium-depth tests conducted off Toulon in July. The high-precision sonar systems, manipulator arms, and optical observation sensors on the vehicle provided flawless data flow even in dark and high-pressure environments thousands of meters deep.
