Underwater Surface Drone Systems for Inspections and Monitoring ROV AUV USV

Underwater and Surface Drone Systems for Inspections and Monitoring – ROV, AUV, USV

Petrov Sky Dynamics , part of Sky Pictures Bulgaria , provides high-tech solutions for inspections, monitoring, and specialized operations in aquatic environments through underwater drones (ROV, AUV) and surface drones (USV – Unmanned Surface Vehicles / remote-controlled boats) . These autonomous and remotely operated platforms deliver detailed surveys and analyses of assets and infrastructure in reservoirs, seas, lakes, dams, and port areas , while eliminating risks to human life and significantly reducing operational costs.

What We Offer

Inspection of Water Infrastructure and Facilities

• Surveys of dam walls and reservoirs;
• Inspection of underwater parts of bridges, pilings, and quay structures;
• Inspections of port facilities, vessels, pontoons, and offshore platforms.

Support in Crisis and Disaster Situations

• Flood operations – mapping of flooded areas using USV boats;
• Locating submerged objects, tunnels, and infrastructure;
• Assistance in search and rescue operations (people, vehicles, and items underwater).

Technological Solutions

Underwater Drones (ROV – Remotely Operated Vehicles)

• Remote operation by an operator via tethered or wireless connection;
• Equipped with high-resolution cameras, lights, and manipulator arms;
• Ideal for inspections of underwater structures, vessels, pipelines, and emergency surveys.

Key Features

• High-quality cameras – 4K video, thermal, and low-light observation;
• Sonar and echo sounders – for 3D mapping of seabeds and object detection underwater;
• GPS and underwater navigation – RTK/INS systems for maximum precision;
• AI-powered analysis – automatic detection of defects, corrosion, leaks, and structural anomalies;
• Durability – operational in strong currents, low visibility, and harsh conditions.
