Deep Ocean has been in continuous operation for 25 years and has sold more than 530 ROV systems in over thirty countries worldwide. Deep Ocean's ROV systems have been utilized in a broad range of industry applications - military, security, salvage, long tunnel and pipeline inspection, customs, nuclear and hydroelectric power plants, dams and lakes, offshore oil and gas servicing, scientific research and education, fisheries and broadcast filming. Customers include the military organizations of eighteen (18) countries (including the U.S. Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Explosive Ordinance Disposal, Naval Facilities Engineering and Service Center and Army Corps of Engineers), the FBI, Canadian Defense, UK Customs, various utility power companies, science, law enforcement and security groups. Technology Profile: In addition to offering a complete range of standard ROV systems, Deep Ocean provides customized solutions for clients with spe- cific requirements. Tailor-made solutions are engineered from component technologies, which have been proven in various industry applications. The engineering and manufacture of appropriately configured submersible delivery sys- tems also include the integration of a wide variety of sensors, tools, electronic navigational controls and tracking sys- tems, instrumentation packages and accessories. Deep Ocean Engineering's 25th Anniversary: What started off in California during 1982,as a small manufacturer of Remotely Operating Vehicles (ROV's), turned into Deep Ocean Engineering celebrating 25 years of supplying ROV's to more than 30 countries. Though the company has continued to grow and spread around the world, it never forgot about its roots in California. Deep Ocean still has partnerships with agencies like California Fish & Game, The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, NOAA, and The City of San Diego, and Pacific Gas & Electric. Deep Ocean Engineering has also been a supplier to the nuclear power plant industry, hydro electric power industry, scien- tific, as well as academic research, and it has even been involved in law enforcement. In fact, a victim was able to be located in California because the FBI used a Phantom HD2+2, one of Deep Ocean's ROV's. To celebrate the com- pany's anniversary, it will be introducing their new line of all-digital ROV's. This includes the introduction of the Vector L4 and M5, as well as the digital software for the new Vectors. The Vector L4 and M5 have been designed to be lighter, provide a rapid installation, and accommodate a range of depths. This includes shallow waters to 1500m deep. The software also allows for scalable and modular applications for the products. With 25 years of experience in ROV technology under its belt and its continuous customer increase, Deep Ocean Engineering will be around intro- duce new types of ROV's on it's 50th anniversary.
