Launch and Recovery System
OUCO launch and recovery systems (LARS) are designed to withstand harsh environments, increase the operational possibilities for remotely-operated vehicles, and optimize the deployment of research equipment.Â
Our launch and recovery systems deploy and recover ROVs, CTDs, seabed sampling equipment, and much more. Depths of operation can reach down to 4000 meters. A typical launch and recovery system may consist of an A-frame crane with heave-compensation, an umbilical winch, skid tie-down mounting plates, and an optional hydraulic power unit.Â
These machines will lower or drop equipment into the water, and lift it out once a mission is completed.
