ScanFish Tropheus

ScanFish Tropheus
High-speed ROTV for UXO operations
Detailed and safe mapping of potential UXO areas
Eliminate data uncertainty with high-quality seabed imaging
The ScanFish Tropheus is an ROTV especially designed for UXO
detection. It functions as depressor of any side-scan sonar and
is the optimum solution in terms of quality, efficiency and safety.
Continuous acquisition of accurate and
comprehensive data
The intelligent control of the ScanFish Tropheus ensures that
the ROTV together with the side-scan sonar mounted on the
underside maintain a constant, fixed altitude in proportion to the
seabed – and far closer than solutions without a depressor.
Add to this a high tow speed of up to 10 knots and the fact that
the ScanFish Tropheus allows for continuous data acquisition,
you are ensured more accurate and comprehensive data and thus
extensively detailed images of any potential UXO targets.
Avoid risking your crew’s safety
The ScanFish Tropheus can be towed by an unmanned vessel.
Consequently, you avoid having to pose the crew to any risks
during the operation. All you need to do is define the altitude of the
ScanFish Tropheus, and its motion, pressure and altitude sensors
will do the rest of the job, ensuring high stability of the vehicle and
sonar in the water.
Looking for a total solution?
ScanFish Tropheus is available with all the standard components
and optional extras that are required to constitute a turn-key UXO
solution. From topside unit to subsea cable termination and multiping side-scan sonar, we offer you all the necessary components
for an affordable UXO detection solution that will make a great
difference to the safety and efficiency of future operations.
User-friendly control
and monitoring
software solution
The ScanFish Tropheus comes with the ScanFish
III Flight software, which is an easy-to-use software
system allowing for control and monitoring of the ROTV.
Intuitive interface for an advanced vehicle
Only a minimum of training is required to prepare the
crew to operate the ROTV, which means you will be
ready to set sail within a short period of time. Moreover,
there is no risk of wasting time on difficulties resulting
from complicated software user interface.
Via the intuitive interface of ScanFish III Flight, you
are in complete control of the position of the ROTV
by defining its height compared to the seabed. At the
same time, you can monitor its position in the water, and
an alarm menu will warn you of any irregularities.
On-site calibration
A pre-flight feature allows for test and calibration of
the ScanFish Tropheus on-site prior to deployment,
promising you the highest possible performance and
data quality.
Affordable solution with many
benefits
Despite the many benefits offered by the ScanFish
Tropheus, it comes at only a small extra cost compared to
a towed sonar and a very competitive price in comparison
with AUV solutions.
Recording of flight data
Acquired data can be analysed by means of a flight
recording feature. It enables you to play back all flights
and for example quickly locate the cause of any
irregularities, thus enhancing the quality of your results
and saving survey time.
Effective terrain-following
operation mode
The terrain-following operation mode of the ScanFish
Tropheus ensures optimal positioning of the side-scan
sonar in the water.
Real-time data monitoring and target
classification
The EIVA NaviScan software is available as an optional
extra, enabling data acquisition and real-time monitoring
through high-quality displays. This, together with the
possibility of target selection and classification, will
increase the success rate of your UXO operations.
About ScanFish Tropheus
ScanFish Tropheus is third generation of the ScanFish ROTV family, a proven
solution that has always made the grade in terms of efficiency and durability. In
further developing this product range, we are able to offer you an enhanced
product of the highest quality.
Robust product with a long service life
Quality materials and easily replaced wear parts characterise the ScanFish
Tropheus and contribute to a high ROI through a long service life.
The practical design of the ScanFish Tropheus makes it so robust that it can
be deployed in rough weather. This saves time as the risk of downtime is vastly
reduced. Two side plates with bars, which also function as handles, protect the
body and facilitate handling, thus reducing the risks posed to the ROTV in the water
and ensuring the safety of the crew during deployment and recovery.
Easily stored on deck
The ScanFish Tropheus comes with a storage cradle for permanent storage of the
ROTV and side-scan sonar on deck, taking up a minimum of space. The cradle
protects the system and ensures that it always can be deployed quickly as it is
right at hand.
