About VideoRay

VideoRay develops portable underwater remotely operated vehicles for defence, search, inspection, maintenance and offshore work. Its Mission Specialist range includes compact observation systems and larger intervention platforms that carry sensors, tooling and mission payloads.

The Wraith, Ally, Defender and Pro 5 occupy different payload and operating roles within the family. Customers configure each vehicle with tethers, control equipment and accessories for the mission, so depth, power and intervention capability remain model-specific.

Market context

VideoRay matters as an established underwater robotics OEM whose Mission Specialist ROVs are used for inspection, defense, offshore energy, and public-safety work.
