The XLe Spirit from Forum Subsea Technologies is the first observation-class ROV to utilize the company’s Integrated Control Engine. The control electronics pod fitted allows for greater connectivity and expansion capabilities, and Ethernet interfacing allows for integration with other industry sensors using common IP Architecture and ease of remote data transfer. The ROV incorporates a number of features to maximize its stability for use as a sensor platform, including regulated propulsion power, optimized thruster orientation and location, thruster speed control, and a wide range of auto-functions for positioning and flying.
