This paper introduces the system of a 6,000 meter depth-rated unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) for oceanographic research and survey in Korea. The UUV system consists of two vehicles: a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) ‘HEMIRE’ and an underwater launcher ‘HENUVY’ cooperated with the ROV. This paper describes the functions and specifications of HENUVY and HEMIRE, respectively, and presents the specification of the instruments of HEMIRE and HENUVVY. Before the introduction of the vehicles, the state of the arts for the development of deep-sea ROV is presented. This paper also describes the application area of the deep-sea ROV and the plan for HEMIRE and HENUVY application.
