## Project overview

VALOR, equipped with a Viper Mine Disposal System (MDS), was deployed by a national navy via autonomous surface vessel (ASV) for remote subsea mine neutralisation in a maritime environment.

## The challenge

Operating at depths of up to 100m in near-zero visibility, the mission required fully remote launch, recovery, piloting, station-keeping, and acoustic detonation.

##### Watch Now.

## The solution

VALOR was chosen as the most powerful and fully digital ROV in its size class, with the capacity to operate multiple sensors simultaneously and integrate a bespoke 4-shot Viper skid designed by Rovtech.

Compared to traditional single-shot systems, VALOR delivered 4x faster operations, significantly reducing vessel time, carbon emissions, and operational risk. Its digital architecture enabled stable station-keeping via Sonardyne Sprint NavMini INS, acoustic detonation triggers, and autonomous waypoint navigation.

All key remote tasks - including multi-shot sequences, extended station-keeping, and autonomous navigation - were seamlessly integrated into a bespoke VALOR solution tailored for high-efficiency mine neutralisation.

## The only remotely operated 4-shot package

## The outcome

The VALOR & Viper MDS solution offers unmatched safety and efficiency for mine countermeasure operations. Its multi-shot capability reduces time in the field, the ROV’s compact size and power allow deployment from smaller assets, and its advanced digital systems support precision remote execution in harsh conditions - minimising risk and maximising operational output for military clients.
