The Falcon DR has been fully integrated into the Focus ROV control cabin and joins other SeaBotix and SeaEye vehicles in the Focus fleet. UVS Technical Sales Manager, Francine Watts, said the that Falcon DR provided a powerful and versatile addition to the focus ROV capability. “The Falcon DR is rated for deeper operations “, said Francine, “It enables inspections in deep tunnels as well as for fly away operations in deeper water offshore.”

The Falcon DR is easily recognised by the thicker red higher density buoyancy material visible below the removable yellow top faring. Another recognisable external feature is the forward facing tilting flood lights that are linked to the camera tilt platform to provide improved scene illumination when filming above or below the vehicle centre line.

Falcon DR controls are fully integrated into the Focus Subsea Control Cabin at the ROV pilot station.
