“…The latter become especially significant in conditions of strong currents and wind impacts. Experience of marine expeditions has shown that even under limited maneuverability of such vessels, it is still possible to move the ROV depressor with an accuracy sufficient for research operations [4]. However, the actual control of a vehicle moving along a long-distance route may become a serious challenge in cases where the mothership does not have an accurate DP system, even when operated by an experienced crew.…”

“…However, when conducting hydrographical, geophysical, hydrobiological, biochemistry studies, and exploring oil and gas fields, specialists usually face an important challenge of surveying large deep-sea polygons, collecting high-quality video and photographic material, profiling, finding objects, and also sampling water, soil, animals, and gas all along the route [3][4][5][6][7]. The capabilities of modern AUV are evidently not sufficient to solve manipulation problems and perform operations that should be monitored in real time by specialists who set the goals and locations of sampling and, simultaneously, correct the vehicle's route.…”

“…To increase the mobility of ROVs, a depressor unit [4] is used, which is an intermediate link connecting the thick, reinforced umbilical cable of the lifting/lowering mechanism with the flexible tether cable of the ROV. This common approach allows increasing the mobility of ROVs within its work zone limited by the tether cable length.…”

“…Currently, operator support systems are widely used for various ROV types [4,[17][18][19][20][21]. The information and control system of a ROV [4] graphically displays its spatial orientation and the configuration of the underwater multi-joint manipulator mounted on it. The article [19] describes an intuitive interface for ROV operators based on the virtual reality technology, which creates the effect of personal presence on the ROV and increases the efficiency of controlling the vehicle's movements.…”

The article considers the issues of development of a smart system for supporting activities of ROV operators and its practical implementation for the efficient operation a ROV Comanche 18 that is based on the R/V Akademik M.A. Lavrentiev. The system uses algorithms that provide coordinated movements of the ROV and its depressor unit. These algorithms are designed for ROVs to make synchronous, accurate, and accident-free movements along long-distance routes even when launched from a support vessel without dynamic positioning (DP). For this, the operator receives real-time visual recommendations and warnings generated on the basis of the expert evaluation of information coming from various sensors and positioning systems. The ability to plan routes of the ROV and its mothership, inputting target points, saving maps, tracks, and locations of the detected underwater objects are also implemented in the designed system. The article presents the results of successful tests carried out during a deep-sea research expedition of the A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology FEB RAS in the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean. The created smart support system for ROV operators significantly extends the range of capabilities of ROVs performing many unique underwater operations, while significantly reducing their operating time.

The article describes the system of intellectual support for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operators, which provides the precise movements control of the ROV and its depressor-weight along the specified trajectories, even in the case when the supporting vessel has no a dynamic positioning system. Proposed system provides operators with visual recommendations and warnings, which are formed in real time on the basis of expert evaluation of the information obtained from various sensors and navigation systems. Software and hardware implementation of the system was carried out for the working class ROV Comanche 18. Experimental studies of the developed system were carried out during an expedition to the Bering Sea on board of the research vessel Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev.
