Summary/Reader Response Draft 1
The DTG3 is an underwater drone for inspections and surveys that is incredibly quick to install and trustworthy(DTG3, n.d.). It can come with numerous attachments, enhancing this remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The ROV's revolutionary pitch system allows the users to move the imaging sonar, grabber, and camera head, with the aid of professional engineering and gravity, enabling the user to scan areas or adjust the location of their addons without activating thrusters(DTG3, n.d.). The ROV is built with durable materials and a cutting-edge magnetically coupled thruster design to endure the harsh maritime environment. To control, integrate, communicate, and improve the experience, the DTG3 runs on the Deep Trekker BRIDGE intelligent platform(DTG3, n.d.). Deep Trekker BRIDGE utilizes cutting-edge technology to offer consumers solutions that are simple and easy to use. The ROV would be controlled by a durable Deep Trekker handheld controller that comes with a seven-inch LCD. The controller uses the BRIDGE platform for improved integration(DTG3, n.d.). The DTG3 can access more locations, is safer to use, and has better visibility when compared to a person conducting an underwater investigation.
The DTG3 has drawbacks when used for underwater exploration, though. One of them is that the ship's propeller may catch the ROV's tether line (Ritter, 2021). The ship may not be moving properly in the water, which could be the cause of this. Another problem is that when the currents near the sea bed are too strong, the ROV might be pushed into obstructions (Ritter, 2021). In order to avoid such accidents, operators must conduct their own safety checks and pay close attention to their surroundings while operating the ROV.
I still think that using the DTG3 for underwater exploration has more advantages than disadvantages, as this summary and reader response demonstrates. Instead of running the risk of a diver becoming trapped in small spaces or being swept away by strong currents, it is safer to deploy the ROV.
