Underwater security, fully under control

Underwater security services: Ports, docks, reservoirs, sensitive waters and critical underwater facilities have long been the weak link in security systems. Built on its own industry-grade ROV platform, Highlvl Robotics gives public security, armed police, maritime, port, nuclear power and water conservancy organizations all-weather, full-coverage underwater inspection and threat response, building a three-dimensional “surface plus underwater” security barrier.


Core application scenarios

Underwater security screening at ports and docks

  • Routine underwater patrols of berths, channels, anchorages and other critical waters.
  • Detection of underwater explosives, suspicious devices and illegal attachments.
  • Inspection of quay piles and revetment structures to prevent structural hazards.
  • Building an underwater security database together with port security departments.

Intrusion monitoring in sensitive waters

  • Underwater surveillance of reservoirs, water sources, nuclear plant intake areas and other sensitive zones.
  • Real-time identification of illegal intruders, divers and suspicious targets.
  • Sonar and HD camera systems provide round-the-clock underwater situational awareness.
  • Immediate alerts on anomalies, linked to surface security teams for fast response.

Safety inspection of underwater facilities

  • Regular inspection of underwater pipelines, cables, gates, culverts and other critical infrastructure.
  • Detection of illegal drilling, sabotage, theft and other signs of deliberate damage.
  • Assessment of facility condition to prevent accidents caused by deliberate damage.
  • Inspection reports that support security decisions.

Underwater EOD and hazardous object response

  • In high-risk situations such as suspected explosives or unexploded ordnance, the ROV carries out remote reconnaissance instead of divers.
  • HD imaging and sonar scanning identify the type and position of the hazard precisely.
  • A manipulator can mark, secure or assist with removal, lowering the risk to personnel.
  • Support for EOD specialists in planning safe disposal.

Water area security for major events

  • Pre-event underwater security screening for conferences, competitions and celebrations.
  • Full inspection of the event waters to eliminate underwater hazards.
  • Continuous underwater watch during the event keeps the waters secure.
