Hanging underwater probe (with camera and other sensors) for ships

Hanging underwater probe with camera and other sensors can aid to maritime surface platforms in many ways like, underwater search & surveillance.

In terms of specification, it can be in cylindrical shape with dia. not exceeding 50 cm, equipped with camera & light, multiple sensors for depth, pressure & temperature, magnetic compass and audio frequency receiver. It should be controlled though hanging wire and able to operate upto 500 metre depth. It should have safety feature for auto resurfacing in case of lost control or any other emergency.

Future Expectation from the prototype / Technology developed

ICG Ships may use the device for multi-purposes like, underwater search for survivors/bodies, debris of aircraft/Helo, vessels and also for underwater surveillance and inspecting underwater fittings amongst others.
