K-STER - Remotely controlled vehicle for shallow water survey

K-Ster is a self-powered ROV (embedded batteries), linked to the surface for real-time control with a simple fibre optic.

The inspection version for oil & gas applications of this vehicle, initially designed as a low-cost mine-killer for clearing mine fields, features a patented tiltable head carrying camera, light and sonar, particularly adapted to limited access areas.

Of only 50 kg, it allows an easy deployment and provides a light and portable solution for short inspection tasks in water depth ranging from 300 metres to 1000 m from its launching point.

K-Ster is a powerful vehicle able to hover even when facing strong current. Its operational speed is over 5 knots.
