SCRIPPS Receives Underwater Winged NOVA RAY®
ROV
Kirkland, WA: APRIL 7, 2004. Nova Ray, Inc. (NRI) delivered
to SCRIPPS Institution of Oceanography a Nova Ray® submersible
remotely operated vehicle (ROV), in San Diego, CA, April
7, 2004. The Nova Ray® ROV was anonymously donated to
SCRIPPS, one of the oldest, largest, and most important
centers for marine science research, graduate training,
and public service in the world.
“Being able to support the research efforts of such
a prestigious institution is an honor,” commented
Marc Geriene, CEO of NRI. “We look forward to the
Nova Ray® ROV participating in SCRIPPS’ marine
research projects for the protection of our oceans and waterways.”
The Nova Ray®, with its innovative arcuate (bow shaped)
wing design, maintains stability and maneuverability in
strong currents, cross currents and tides. Highly portable
and maneuverable, the Nova Ray® ROV operates efficiently
in up to 9 knot currents under tow, and can be operated
using built-in thruster power.
Geriene noted, “The Nova Ray® ROV offers a multi-use
platform adaptable to a wide range of applications for research,
surveys and underwater inspections. It is easy to launch
from a stable platform or vessel, and its design can meet
the challenges of underwater environments.”
NRI’s arcuate wing and proprietary operating system
stem from seven years of ROV research and development. The
company founders called upon their expertise as commercial
divers, ROV pilots and business owners in developing the
Nova Ray’s® innovative design and market applications.
