Limit risk for divers, protect critical infrastructure and investigate possible threats underwater using ROVs.
Explore products Talk to an ROV expertProvide situational awareness underwater to limit risks and provide protection using ROVs
Military and defense teams are often at risk during their operations. EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) at sea or investigating IEDs (improvised explosive devices) are missions that require thorough planning and careful execution. By incorporating underwater ROVs, both risk and time are minimized.
Work smarter with use of underwater drones
Investigate possible threats
Get quick access with ROVs to perform hull inspections or monitor other assets underwater. Assist in crime scene investigation, salvage- or rescue operations.
Limit HSE risk for divers
Prepare the diver with situational information before entering the water. Use the ROV as an aid during diving operations.
Protect critical infrastructure
Identify targets of interest and generate situational awareness to protect harbors, ships, pipelines, and other key infrastructures.
Equipping the Norwegian Coast Guard with Blueye X3s
The Norwegian Coast Guard is harnessing cutting-edge underwater drone technology to improve their efficiency and safety during maritime operations.
Aboard the KV Bjørnøya, a modern Coast Guard vessel, the crew is making strides in utilizing Blueye Robotics' underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for a wide range of critical tasks. We met up with one of the crew members at KV Bjørnøya to learn more about their missions using the Blueye X3 ROV.
Remotely operated vehicles are of great value add for the Navy. They allow us to look at objects under the water, both on hulls, on platforms and those items on the seabed that we might want to look at for further investigation.

Blueye Cloud
Keep the fleet ready and every dive on record
Dives sync from the Blueye App after every exercise and task, so you can track drones, batteries and payloads across units without extra paperwork. Every route and finding is on record for the debrief and for the next team that goes in the water.
- Service notes and battery health for every drone, so you know what is ready to deploy
- Every training dive and exercise logged per drone, tagged and easy to find
- Replay the route of a harbour search or MCM exercise on the map in the debrief
- Turn a harbour search into a report where each finding links to its moment in the video
- With strict security requirements, an enterprise agreement can run Blueye Cloud on Microsoft Sovereign Cloud, Azure Local or your own servers
Blueye Cloud is hosted in Europe
Fleet management. Every drone, battery and peripheral in one place: dive history, battery health and where each unit has been.
Map replay. Replay the whole dive on the map, with video and photos synchronised to the track.
Search of the berth and approach as part of the exercise. The seabed is mostly mud with scattered debris; one sonar contact on the quay wall was checked on camera.
Exercise object on the quay wall at 6 m — position marked and handed to the clearance divers.
AI reports. Draft an inspection report from the dives, transcripts and photos. Every finding links to the moment it came from. Pro
Sonar mosaic
Turn sonar sweeps into a map of the seabed
Stitch the multibeam recordings in a project into one top-down acoustic map. Every ping is placed from the drone’s position and heading in the dive log, overlapping fans are aligned automatically, and the finished mosaic sits georeferenced on the map — for your team and everyone you share the project with.
- Built from the .mbez recordings and dive logs you already upload
- Overlapping fans aligned by image matching, with the transits between survey stations left out
- Adjust palette, contrast, and resolution live — processing runs on your own GPU, right in the browser
- Shown on the project map, on dives opened from the project, and on share links
- Download a georeferenced image, or export it as a custom map layer for the project or organisation
