SRV-8 MDV – Mine Disposal Vehicle
Military-grade ROV for EOD operations
The SRV-8X Mine Disposal Vehicle (MDV) is a military-grade ROV designed to support naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams in detecting and neutralizing naval mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). Employed by both military and commercial professionals worldwide, the SRV-8X MDV provides an efficient alternative to EOD divers in mine countermeasures (MCM) operations.
The SRV-8X MDV can be deployed in under 3 minutes, allowing rapid response to underwater threats. Part of Oceanbotics’ Special Purpose Vehicle Division, the SRV-8X MDV is equipped with advanced capabilities to support effective and efficient missions.
The SRV-8X MDV is based on the SRV-8 ROV, customized with specialized mine disposal accessories. The smaller SRV-8 ROV can also be adapted for specific mine disposal tasks.
Mine Neutralization Process Using an Inspection ROV
- Locate the Mine – Use the ROV’s sonar and camera systems to identify the sea mine and approach it.
- Position the ROV – Adjust the ROV to align the charge disruptor with the mine’s weak spot.
- Release the Shock Tube – Detach the shock tube and move the ROV to a safe distance.
- Move to Safety – Drive the ROV to a secure distance from the mine.
- Detonate – Trigger the explosion once the ROV is at a safe distance to neutralize the mine.
