Object Recovery Services

Leverage specialized drone technology for the challenging task of locating and retrieving submerged or hard-to-reach objects. Our services primarily utilize advanced underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), equipped with sophisticated sonar systems for detection, high-definition cameras with powerful lighting for clear visualization even in murky conditions, and robust manipulator arms or custom grabber tools for secure retrieval. We can target and recover items lost in lakes, rivers, ponds, reservoirs, and near-shore environments. Aerial drones may also assist in initial surface reconnaissance or guiding underwater operations.1

Why Use Drone Technology for Object Recovery?

Traditional recovery methods, especially involving human divers, can be dangerous, expensive, and limited by depth, visibility, and time constraints. Our drone-based approach provides key advantages:

  • Superior Safety: Eliminates the significant risks associated with human divers operating in potentially hazardous underwater conditions (depth, cold, currents, low visibility, contamination).
  • Operational Efficiency: Conduct search and recovery operations more rapidly and often with smaller support teams compared to conventional methods.
  • Greater Access & Endurance: Operate effectively at depths and for durations beyond typical human diver limits.
  • Precision Retrieval: Maneuver accurately to locate, inspect, and secure target objects with minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment or potential evidence.
  • Cost-Effective Alternative: Often presents a more economical solution than mobilizing extensive dive teams or heavy salvage equipment, particularly for moderately sized objects.2
  • Valuable Documentation: Provides high-quality video evidence of the search, location, and recovery process.

Essential Capabilities for Critical Situations:

  • For Insurance Adjusters, Marine Operators, & Industrial Entities: Need to recover valuable lost assets such as equipment, tools, outboard motors, drones, or even small vehicles from underwater? Require retrieval of items for forensic analysis or claim validation? Our ROV service offers a safe, efficient, and documented method to locate and bring back submerged items, assisting in loss mitigation, operational continuity, and investigative support.
  • For Law Enforcement, Public Safety Agencies, & Search & Rescue Teams: Involved in investigations requiring the location and retrieval of critical evidence (e.g., weapons, personal effects, vehicle parts) from water bodies? Tasked with removing navigational hazards or assisting in locating objects related to accidents or missing persons cases? Our underwater drones provide an invaluable tool for conducting searches and recoveries safely and effectively, preserving scene integrity where necessary, and enhancing your operational reach in challenging aquatic environments.
