GNOM Remotely controlled underwater vehicles ROV, small sized, Indel Partners, Ltd. represented by SOSI

GNOM is the name for a family of small-sized (30cm length, weight 3kg) remotely-controlled underwater vehicles. They are intended for surveys of wrecks and other objects, including long-term monitoring of pipelines, and oil platforms. The systems are controlled by PCs and have Internet communication, features which are missing in well known big and small ROVs.

In business since 1999, Indel Partner Ltd. had built over 80 GNOM ROVs. These low-cost, compact ROVs are remarkably versatile offering an impressive range of standard and optional features. The GNOM Family of ROVs have been used in a wide variety of applications ranging from vessel inspection, pipeline survey, internal pipeline inspection, tank inspection scientific research fish pen monitoring and other aquaculture-related inspection activities, search and survey operations, and diver observation. They have been used as "fly out" systems based on larger ROVs and other platforms. They are ideally suited for use aboard relatively small boats and yachts. They can provide hours of entertainment and allow non-diving members of the party to virtually travel among with a dive party. They also can come in handy for hull, propeller and mooring/anchor inspection if problems occur.

The PC interface and PC-software control the vehicles, and display data. A digital data channel between the surface station and the GNOM, as well as an on-board microcontroller with A-D interface, allows the addition of other sensors including an echosounder.
