Exploring the Depths The Advantages and Types
of Bathymetric Survey Drones used by Falcon Survey

Bathymetric survey drones, also known as
underwater drones, are becoming an increasingly
popular tool for conducting surveys of the ocean
floor. These drones come in a variety of
different types, each with their own unique
features and capabilities.

Types of Bathymetric Survey Drones
Remotely operated vehicle (ROV)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
Hybrid ROV/AUV
Surface Drone
Manned Submersible

Remotely
ROVs are tethered to a surface vessel and are
controlled by a pilot from the surface. They
typically have a wide range of sensors and
instruments, including cameras, sonars, and water
quality sensors. ROVs are often used for
deep-water surveys, as they can reach depths of
up to 6,000 meters. They are also commonly used
for inspections of offshore structures, such as
oil rigs, and for search and recovery operations.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
AUVs are self-contained and can operate
independently of a surface vessel. They are
programmed with a mission plan before being
deployed and can navigate and collect data
without human intervention. AUVs typically have a
limited range and endurance compared to ROVs, but
they are able to survey areas that are difficult
or impossible for manned vehicles to reach. They
are often used for mapping the ocean floor and
for environmental monitoring.

Hybrid ROV/AUV
These drones combine the capabilities of both
ROVs and AUVs, allowing them to be remotely
operated or to operate independently, depending
on the mission requirements. They can also switch
between modes mid-mission, if necessary. The
ability to operate in both modes is useful for
tasks that require more precise control and
maneuverability, such as inspections and search
and recovery operations, but it is also the
ability to survey larger areas of the ocean floor
autonomously.

Surface Drone
Another type of bathymetric survey drone is the
surface drone, also known as a surface-supply
drone, which typically used to survey shallow
water and the coastlines. These drones are
operated from the surface, and they use cameras
and sonars to collect data while floating on the
water surface. They are useful for conducting
surveys in areas that are too shallow for
traditional survey methods, such as manned boats
or submersibles, and also for surveying coastal
areas that may be difficult to access.

Manned Submersible
The manned underwater vehicle is able to reach
depths of up to 3000 meters. These vehicles are
typically operated by a pilot and can carry
additional passengers, such as scientists, who
are able to conduct research in real-time. Manned
submersibles are often used for scientific
research and for exploring shipwrecks and other
underwater structures.
