Underwater drone should bring clarity: American company hopes to find missing MH370 flight

For ten years, the world has been concerned about the fate of flight MH370 and the 239 people on board. Despite extensive searches in the southern Indian Ocean, where the wreck is believed to be located, it has not yet been clearly located. An American company now wants to launch a new search.

The CEO of Deep Sea Vision, Tony Romeo, told the American media that he wanted to achieve a breakthrough through the targeted use of a state-of-the-art underwater drone. The drone, called Hugin 6000, is designed to hover 50 meters above the seabed. “He just flies back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,” Romeo explained.

The drone looks at everything that is visible. Moreover, it collects and stores important data. Back on the surface, employees can then read the data. A few weeks ago, Deep Sea Vision first made headlines when the plane of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) was allegedly found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Romeo stated at the time that success was only possible thanks to the underwater drone. The entrepreneur describes the drone’s technology as “incredible”.

“Credibility proven”

The difference with previous searches is that the drone can search an area four times larger than devices previously involved in the search for MH370. That’s why Romeo is sure they can find the plane. “I feel we have proven our credibility and competence. We have proven that we are capable of applying new techniques.”

Deep Sea Vision is currently preparing to submit a search proposal to the Malaysian government. Romeo hopes that the government will accept the proposal.

March 8 marked the tenth anniversary of the plane’s disappearance en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. At 1:20 a.m. local time, the plane suddenly disappeared from radar. (An)
