VideoRay is a pioneering leader in underwater robotics, dedicated to designing and manufacturing highly capable remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for subsea inspection, intervention, and exploration across defense, commercial, scientific, and public safety markets.

With more than 4,500 vehicles delivered worldwide, VideoRay systems are trusted by naval forces, offshore operators, infrastructure owners, researchers, and first responders operating in some of the world’s most challenging underwater environments.

In 2025, VideoRay was acquired by AeroVironment (AV), a global leader in intelligent, unmanned systems operating across air, land, and sea. This strategic acquisition expanded VideoRay’s ability to serve both defense and commercial customers, combining deep subsea robotics expertise with AeroVironment’s scale, advanced engineering, and focus on mission-critical reliability. Together, the companies are advancing integrated robotic solutions for maritime security, offshore industry, and environmental operations.

At the core of VideoRay’s portfolio is the Mission Specialist™ family of ROVs, engineered for modularity, reliability, and operational flexibility. These vehicles support a wide range of payloads and third-party sensors, enabling missions such as infrastructure inspection, cable and pipeline survey, offshore energy support, search and recovery, environmental monitoring, as well as explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and mine countermeasures (MCM).

• Mission Specialist Defender, VideoRay’s flagship ROV, is actively used by the U.S. Navy and allied forces, while also supporting commercial and government operators requiring high power, precision maneuverability, and advanced payload integration for complex inspection and intervention tasks.
• Mission Specialist Ally offers a compact, rapidly deployable solution for routine inspection, observation, and light intervention, making it well-suited for port authorities, offshore facilities, research teams, and industrial operators seeking portability and ease of use without sacrificing capability.
• Mission Specialist Pro 5 is a proven, versatile platform widely adopted for commercial, scientific, and public safety applications. Known for its reliability and adaptability, Pro 5 supports a broad array of sensors and tooling for inspection, survey, maintenance, and recovery operations.
• Introduced in 2025, the Mission Specialist Wraith™ is VideoRay’s most advanced ROV to date. Designed to meet evolving defense and commercial requirements, the new 6 DOF Wraith delivers increased power, enhanced payload capacity, and improved maneuverability while maintaining a compact form factor—enabling higher-performance subsea operations across industries.

VideoRay products are supported by a global dealer and partner network, providing local sales, training, and lifecycle support across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and beyond. This network ensures responsive service and long-term operational success for customers worldwide.
