Like the smaller Tiger, the Lynx is a leading observation and inspection vehicle used by the oil and gas industry especially for missions in water depths to 1,500m.
The Lynx is fitted with two vertical and four horizontal thrusters making it a very stable platform with exceptional manoeuvrability.
A wide range of tools and sensors are available as well as interchangeable tooling skids, which are powered by a dedicated tooling power supply unit.
The Lynx vehicle is available as a free swimmer or can operate in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS).
Six thrusters provide a stable platform with an increase in vertical thrust for deep water and platform inspection projects.
Fibre optic data and video transmission with up to four simultaneous video channels available including an HD camera option.
Tooling options designed to deliver results even for the most challenging of projects.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and a two 17 inch colour monitors. An additional hand control unit is available for systems fitted with a manipulator skid.
Fibre Optic MUX with two live video channels for video transmission. Additional MUX option available.
Operated as a free swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) for depths up to 1500 m.
Additional deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming Lynx or an A Frame Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs equipped with a TMS.
ROV rated to 1500 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters, electronics pod, four LED lights, two high resolution cameras, a compass and a depth sensor for vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
