Greensea IQ unveils autonomous tether management

Greensea IQ has launched new autonomous tether management technology, enabling safer, more efficient ROV operations

Greensea IQ has unveiled its new Autonomous Tether Management System (TMS) for inspection-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), reducing the need for field supervision.

Integrated with the company’s ROV autonomy software, the portable system maintains proper tether tension throughout missions, while autonomously managing tether launch and recovery. The technology enables a single operator, working remotely or locally, to operate a tethered system effectively.

Developed and tested over four years, the TMS prototype was demonstrated to and evaluated by the USS Navy before its production release. The system is now deployed in support of Greensea IQ’s EverClean autonomous hull cleaning and inspection system.
