Abstract

A description and characteristics of the small-size remotely operated underwater vehicle Super GNOME pro are given. The main technical innovations and upgrades of the vehicle are considered along with the reasons and aims of these improvements. The innovations were evaluated during expedition work in northern Caspian Sea in 2016, which demonstrated good results. Further upgrades include installation of a sediment-penetrating thermometer for measuring the thermal background of benthonic soil and an underwater dosimeter/radiometer for assessing the radiation background of water areas.
