Product catalog summary
Overview: The Comanche is a versatile Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) designed for high thrust and lifting capabilities, featuring a fully electric propulsion system and a 3000 Volt, 400 Hz power transmission system. It is suitable for deep-sea operations and long tether excursions, equipped with a 15 kW hydraulic power unit for tool operation.
Specifications: The Comanche ROV has depth ratings of 2000, 3000, and 6000 meters, with a payload capacity of 250 kg. It uses seven brushless DC thrusters with StatorshieldTM technology, ensuring reliability and preventing water ingress. The ROV measures 1250 mm in height, 2100 mm in length, and 1300 mm in width, with a mass of 1130 kg in air.
Control System: The SubCanTM control system offers a user-friendly graphical interface, diagnostic feedback for fault diagnosis, and supports multiple video channels and sensor interfaces.
Thrusters and Technology: The ROV's seven-thruster configuration provides a static thrust of 100 kgf in both directions, utilizing StatorshieldTM technology for enhanced reliability.
Communication and Electronics: The system features a robust communication link with a 16-bit CRC for reliable instruction and feedback, and a fibre optic telemetry module for video and data transmission.
Surface Equipment: Includes a Surface Control Unit (SCU), Hand Control Unit (HCU), and Power Distribution Unit (PDU), designed for compact operation.
Additional Features: The Comanche offers lighting options, camera facilities, a survey pod for sensor integration, and a robust frame with high impact resistance and buoyancy modules.
Sensors & Equipment: Supports various sensors and equipment, including cameras, sonar, oceanographic sensors, hydraulic manipulators, and tool skids.
Tether Management System (TMS): Available in three sizes, with Size 3 suitable for the Comanche, offering a 500-meter capacity for a 21 mm diameter tether.
Launch & Recovery Systems: Customizable to different depth requirements, with various sizes and configurations, including A60 and Zoned specifications.
General Information: Specifications are subject to change due to product improvements, and specific details should be confirmed at order placement.

COMANCHE Small Work ROV System Our Comanche Work-Class electric ROV benefits from enhanced capabilities provided by a powerful control system, proportional work- class manipulator arms, tooling hydraulic system, generous payload capacity ■ Two 7 Function Work-Class Manipulator 20,000 Feet) Depth Ratings ■ Long, Small Diameter, Low Drag Tether ■ 15 kW / 20 HP Hydraulic Power Unit DCThrusters using Statorshield™ ■ Multiple Video Channels ■ Deep Live Boat orTMS Operation ■ New SubCan™ Control System Comanche incorporates a fully electric, seven thruster propulsion system, configured to provide high thrust and lifting capability. It uses a 3000 Volt, 400 Hz power transmission system from surface to ROV resulting in a small tether, main lift cable and launch/recovery system. This transmission system makes it particularly suited for long tether excursions and deep live-boating operations. Comanche is equipped with additional power sources to allow the use of a 15 kW / 20 hp hydraulic power unit for running tools and work skids and for rig support intervention tasks. When compared with hydraulic work-class systems, the Comanche provides important customer benefits with regard to capital and operational expenditure, simplicity of use and requires less deck space.
