Jammer resistant drone designs spark search for countermeasures
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
Remote Ocean Systems (ROS) unveiled their new Q-LED III Floodlight at this year's Underwater Intervention Show. A long time leader in underwater lighting development, the QLED-III is to be the new pinnacle of ROV lighting.
The transition to the use of dimmable LED lamps for underwater illumination continues to be a hot topic among the ROV and diving communities. For ROV lighting, LED technology is superior to halogen in many ways, particularly due to its ruggedness, efficiency, and minimal cost of ownership.
The ultra-efficient, dimmable Q-LED III Floodlight's output exceeds that of a 1000 Watt halogen light. It inherits the same compact footprint and mounting pattern of ROS' QL-3000 and predecessor Q-LED lights. It is certified submersible to 4,000 or 6,000 meters, and is available in versions for both 120 and 220 volt AC input power.
The brightest LED lamp in the business, the light penetration is impressive, allowing farther and clearer operating scene illumination. The Q-LED III's bright white beam pattern is particularly suited for High Definition ROV platforms.
ROS has been a trusted manufacturer of ruggedized underwater cameras, lights, and pan/tilts for over 35 years.
