Abstract
The present paper considers a technology based on the deployment of ROV Comanche 18, a work-class unmanned underwater remotely operated vehicle, which allows efficient deep-sea research operations in conditions of strong near-bottom currents and over seamounts with rough topography. Specifics of planning of underwater operations, ROV piloting, organization of dives, and interactions with the mothership crew are discussed. The specially designed sampling tools that provide collection of high-quality scientific material and the elaborated software for providing ROV operators activities with intellectual and informational support are described. The paper presents the results of integrated studies of ecosystems formed on oceanic submarine rises, such as the guyots and seamounts of the Emperor Seamount Chain (North Pacific). These studies with the deployment of a ROV Sub-Atlantic Comanche 18 were carried out during a deep-sea research expedition in the Pacific Ocean organized by the A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology FEB RAS.
