Abstract
In the past decade, more than 600 remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have been developed for the commercial market. Most of these have been tethered, free-swimming, general-purpose systems, but there is a growing trend toward the development of special-purpose vehicles.2,3,5,6,8,13,14,15Most numerous of the “dedicated design” vehicles is the PAP-104, with more than 230 produced in France for mine neutralization.7
