Undervattensfarkost

Undervattensfarkost, also known as an underwater vehicle, is a type of vessel designed to operate beneath the water's surface. These vehicles can be categorized into two main types: remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

ROVs are controlled by an operator on the surface using a tether or cable that transmits commands and receives data. They are commonly used for tasks such as underwater inspections, maintenance, and repair. ROVs are equipped with various tools and sensors, including cameras, manipulators, and sampling devices, to perform their tasks.

AUVs, on the other hand, operate independently without a tether. They are programmed with a set of instructions or missions and navigate using onboard sensors and navigation systems. AUVs are often used for tasks that require long-term monitoring, mapping, or data collection. They can operate for extended periods and cover large areas, making them ideal for scientific research and environmental monitoring.

Undervattensfarkosts are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, marine science, defense, and underwater construction. They provide a safe and efficient way to explore and interact with the underwater environment, enabling tasks that would be difficult or impossible to perform using traditional diving methods.
