Special Forces Rely on Mariscope ROV’s

Mariscope Meerestechnik recently sold three ROVs to the Austrian Military (1) and German Police (2) through their representative AQUALUNG Europe.

All three vehicles are of the model FO II, each specially equipped following the needs of the clients. Since most of the tasks the ROVs have to fulfill are search and recovery, the FO II is equipped with sonar and tracking devices, as well as special cameras and lighting, manipulators, and more.

Different from most other competitors, Mariscope manufactures the ROVs with stainless steel frames and housings, in order to make them applicable in every environment. Coupled with a unique life time warranty in this market, these vehicles will now be acquired also by other special forces in Europe.

Not only in Europe special forces are using Mariscope ROVs. In South America, Mariscope Ingenieria, based in Chile, is cooperating with the Argentinean and Chilean Army, Coast Guard, Civil Protection and Police Corps. The Armada Argentina purchased a Diavolo II ROV and the same did the Prefectura Naval (Argentina´s Coast Guard). In December 2011 the Prefectura Naval additionally ordered a Special ROV (modified Comander MKII ) with 2 hydraulic manipulators.

In Chile, Mariscope provides permanent service related to search and recovery tasks with local authorities. Due to the many severe problems along the country, related with marine accidents, earth quakes and volcanic activities, Mariscope Ingeniería during the last 10 years was involved in an important number of rescue tasks, using the german ROVs with an enormous success due to their reliability.
