Finding the cause after an accident on land is very difficult, if the situation is underwater the circumstances become complicated, the personnel involved in the investigation wil have to handle the accident as if it were above water.
The accident scene investigation is carried out in order to determine the causes and to find out what went wrong.
Exposure to the underwater environment poses many risks, that can affect function and endanger divers’ health, for this reason, the accident scene investigation should not be performed without specific training and careful pre-dive planning.
In this context, the use of unmanned vehicles is considered as a safe alternative to divers. The innovative solution for accident scene reconstruction comes from remotely controlled unmanned underwater vehicles or UROV.
To improve the flight skills of investigators/pilots, 3D UROV simulators come in handy.
ROV, change the video overlay, enable options such as casualty
simulation and adjust the environment.
ROVsim² Pro simulator created by Marine Simulation company is an efficient tool for new and experienced pilots training, intuitive, uses latest and most advanced 3D graphics and physics technologies, suitable for carrying out various tasks in underwater environment.
Marine Simulation company has introduced in its ROV Simulators the Scanning Sonar Simulator which works with all ROVsim² Pro missions as well as any custom mission you may design in the Custom Mission Designer.
