-Nova Ray is a tethered, rapidly deployable, stand-alone, and multi-function remotely operated vehicle (ROV) submarine survey platform. It is ideal for efficient large-area sweeps, reconnaissance missions, and fast hull inspections; capable of operating in adverse, high current situations that most production ROVs can not.

-Nova Ray is modular and easily re-configurable to accommodate a variety of survey instrumentation suites to support mission specific tasks.

-Nova Ray is operated by a single pilot and assisted by onboard software controls. The Nova Ray can operate effectively in adverse weather and current conditions while under tow, or under its own power.
