FOCUS 3 ROTV
The FOCUS 3 provides a robust, easy-to-use, accurate, steerable, open and flexible instrumentation platform which can be deployed for a wide variety of underwater data acquisition and inspection applications.... More Info Less Info




FOCUS 3 represents the 3rd generation FOCUS vehicles in the family of ROTV systems designed, developed and manufactured by MacArtney.
FOCUS 3 is the result of more than 25 years of constant product development and customer feedback. The design philosophy of the FOCUS 3 system remains the same as for the rest of the MacArtney ROTV systems: to provide a robust, easy-to-use, accurate, steerable, open and flexible instrumentation platform which can be deployed for a wide variety of underwater data acquisition and inspection applications.
The FOCUS 3 vehicle is constructed using carbon fibre technology for the wing sections like the successful FOCUS 2 and TRIAXUS vehicle designs, whereas the instrumentation pods are made from anodised aluminium, making them more durable for potential impact with the seabed. The instrumentation pods are bolted onto the wing sections through a modular design, allowing for onsite repairs of the vehicle in case of an accident.
The modular design of FOCUS 3 includes the option of increasing the wing sections allowing for operations at depths of up to 1,000 metres. Increasing the size of the wing sections also makes more space available for installation of more sensors on to FOCUS 3.
FOCUS 3 can operate a number of acoustic survey sensors and instruments simultaneously ensuring maximum usage of ship time.
The GUI is an easy-to-use Windows-based software package. The system is designed to carry a broad range of sensor packages from leading manufacturers of underwater equipment.
