Deep Ocean Search provides critical support in the defense and security sector through the detection, analysis, and recovery of high-value underwater assets. Our expertise in deep-sea operations enables us to assist military and governmental bodies in complex missions involving the search for lost naval vessels, downed aircraft, sensitive equipment, and other classified or strategically significant assets.
Using advanced deep-sea technologies such as sROVs, and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and suitable detections sensors such as side scan sonar, MBES, magnetometer, beacons tracks, etc… We are capable of locating and inspecting targets at extreme depths, in challenging conditions, and with high levels of precision. Once a target is identified, we conduct thorough visual and structural assessments, and when required, execute delicate recovery operations while maintaining strict safety and confidentiality protocols.
Our work has included the exploration and identification of historical wartime shipwrecks, as well as collaboration with military agencies to locate and secure modern assets lost during training or operations.

In addition to recovery efforts, we support defense-related research and provide data crucial for threat assessment and underwater surveillance. By helping safeguard sensitive technologies and understand the underwater domain more fully, Deep Ocean Search enhances maritime situational awareness and contributes to global security efforts.
Whether the objective is recovery, intelligence gathering, or historical investigation, our experience and discretion make us a trusted partner in the high-stakes world of defense and underwater security operations.
