Development of the MarmaROV remotely operated underwater vehicle system

In this study, the development of the MarmaROV remotely operated underwater vehicle system is presented. The MarmaROV system is designed to be used in research and oceanographic studies of the scientific research vessel R/V TUBITAK Marmara. The MarmaROV system consists of four main subsystems: an unmanned underwater vehicle, a cable (umbilical and tether) management system, a power unit and a control room. The system design and subsystems are presented, and the results of some laboratory tests such as an auto-depth control system response are given.
