SJT-class ROUV

SJT-class ROUV (Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle) is a type of underwater vehicle designed for deep-sea exploration and operations. These vehicles are unmanned and are controlled remotely from a surface vessel or a shore station. The SJT-class ROUV is a specific class of ROUVs that are known for their advanced capabilities and features.

Design and Features

The SJT-class ROUV is designed to operate in harsh underwater environments. It is equipped with a variety of sensors and instruments that allow it to perform a wide range of tasks. These include sonar systems for navigation and object detection, manipulator arms for handling objects, and cameras for visual inspection.

The vehicle is powered by electric motors that drive its propellers. It is connected to the surface vessel or shore station by a tether that provides power and allows for data and control signals to be transmitted.

Applications

SJT-class ROUVs are used in a variety of applications. These include deep-sea exploration, underwater archaeology, and marine biology research. They are also used in the oil and gas industry for tasks such as pipeline inspection and maintenance, and in the military for mine detection and disposal.

Advantages and Limitations

The main advantage of SJT-class ROUVs is their ability to operate in environments that are too dangerous or inaccessible for human divers. They can also stay underwater for much longer periods of time, allowing for extended missions.

However, they also have some limitations. These include the need for a surface vessel or shore station for control and power, and the risk of the tether getting entangled or damaged.
