Meet the Phantom® FireFly - a compact ROV engineered for one of the toughest jobs in the nuclear industry: inspecting the bottom of the reactor vessel and steam dryer in high-radiation environments.

What makes it stand out:

⭐No electronics in the sub-unit - built for reliability where radiation tolerance is non-negotiable

⭐Sized to pe*****te the top guide and core plate for BWR bottom-of-vessel exams, even with guides and plates installed

⭐Torque-balanced thrusters for precise control in confined spaces like containment pools, transfer canals, and spent fuel pools

⭐Runs on the NIS-300 Control System, backwards compatible with the existing FireFly fleet

⭐Compact footprint: just 6.35 kg, with full 180° camera tilt and radiation-tolerant camera options

When the task is steam dryer visual exams or emergent inspections below the fuel, the FireFly is purpose-built to get there.

In the Oil & Gas industry, efficiency is everything.

With versatile ROVs offering a wide range of depths, sizes, and sensor options, inspections can be completed faster and more cost-effectively than traditional tripod-mounted methods. From simple video inspections to advanced 3D multibeam scans, these systems deliver accurate results while reducing downtime.

Even better, they can operate from smaller support vessels with fewer crew members saving both time and money without compromising quality.

Innovation isn’t always about going bigger, it’s about working smarter.

In June 2022, the Deep Ocean Engineering team completed factory acceptance testing of a customer's Phantom® L6 ROV at Richmond Bay.

Before the vehicle entered the water, our engineering team conducted a thorough pre-dive inspection, checking critical components including the thrusters, flotation, cables, whips, and sealing surfaces.

The wet and operational testing then put the L6 through its paces, including:

✅ Thruster performance

✅ Lighting and camera systems

✅ Customer-specific add-ons

✅ Software compatibility

✅ Overall operational functionality

The L6 performed exceptionally well, making it a highly successful day of testing and an important step before delivery to the customer.

The Phantom® L6 was designed as a versatile inspection-class ROV, with an open platform that could be customised with a range of additional equipment to meet specific operational requirements, from surveying to dam and infrastructure inspections.

This successful test reflected what Deep Ocean Engineering had always focused on: rugged, reliable, highly maneuverable underwater robotic systems engineered for real-world applications.
