Scorpio ROVとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Scorpio [Submersible Craft for Ocean Repair, Position, Inspection and Observation] is a brand of underwater submersible Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) manufactured by Perry Tritech used by subsea industries such as the oil industry for general operations, and also by the United States Navy and Royal Navy for submarine rescue services. It was originally developed by AMETEK Straza of El Cajon, United States, and subsequently by Perry Tritech. Although the design of the original Scorpio is over several decades old, it forms the basis for a current generation of Scorpio branded ROVs. Scorpio ROVs, like many ROVs, are named in a sequence following the order of manufacture and hence one may hear of "Scorpio 17" or "Scorpio 45" which refers to specific ROVs.
