Abstract:
A remotely-controlled observation vehicle for observing swimmers is disclosed. The vehicle is designed to float and move on the water, and includes a hull, which is typically sealed. An above-water camera mount is attached to the hull and extends upwardly from it. The above-water camera mount carries one or more cameras. A below-water camera mount is attached to the hull and extends downwardly from it. The below-water camera mount also carries one or more cameras. A first propulsion system is adapted to drive the vehicle through water, and a first steering system is associated with the first propulsion system. The observation vehicle also includes communication and control systems. The vehicle may be fore-aft symmetrical, with a propulsion system and a steering system disposed proximate to each end of the hull. Also disclosed is a system including a vehicle with an associated controller and a data review station.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle, comprising:\n a hull; an above-water camera mount mounted on and extending upwardly from the hull, the above-water camera mount having one or more above-water cameras; a below-water camera mount mounted on and extending downwardly from the hull, the below-water camera mount having one or more below-water cameras; a first propulsion system attached to the hull, the first propulsion system adapted to drive the vehicle through water; a first steering system attached to the hull in association with the first propulsion system; and a communications system adapted to (1) receive control signals relating to speed and direction of the vehicle, and (2) transmit image or video data from the one or more above-water cameras and the one or more below-water cameras; and a control unit adapted to control the first propulsion system and the first steering system in accordance with the control signals and to control transmission of the image or video data.
