About Deep Ocean Engineering
Deep Ocean Engineering manufactures tethered underwater robots and remote-controlled survey boats at its San Jose facility. Phantom T and L vehicles cover portable inspection, while the S series adds six- or eight-thruster configurations, open sensor integration and operation to 1,000 metres. The larger X8 is an electric light-work-class platform for tooling, offshore inspection and repair; FireFly and P-150 address confined nuclear-vessel examinations.
Phantom H-1750 and I-1650 surface vessels carry ADCPs, sonar, depth sounders, cameras and other sensors for bathymetry, current measurement, discharge monitoring and port or river surveys. Systems include topside controls, telemetry, navigation aids and mission-specific payload integration, backed by training, spares, repairs and upgrades. More than 600 Phantom systems have been delivered in over 30 countries for scientific, energy, municipal, security, defence and media operations.

Timeline
Events
- 2022-06-30 - Demonstration - Deep Ocean Engineering completes Phantom L6 factory-acceptance water test
The team conducted pre-dive checks covering thrusters, flotation, cables, whips and sealing surfaces before launching the vehicle. The in-water test exercised the L6's thrusters, lights, cameras, add-ons and software compatibility as part of the factory-acceptance process. Deep Ocean Engineering reported that all tested functions ran successfully and highlighted the open platform's support for customer-specific tooling.

The X8 launched with six vectored horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters for multidirectional control in strong currents. Its imaging package included front and rear HD cameras, three adjustable LED lights and automated heading, altitude, depth and positioning functions. The 1,000-metre-rated platform targeted pipeline inspection, offshore-wind maintenance, infrastructure repair, surveying and research missions.

The FlyImager combines an EdgeTech 4125 side-scan sonar with Deep Ocean Engineering's Phantom T5 remotely operated vehicle. Operators can tow the system to search acoustically, retract its stabilizing wings and convert it into a free-flying ROV for close optical inspection. The single-vessel design was presented as an alternative to deploying separate towfish and ROV systems for target identification and inspection.
