In the context of underwater operations, SAR involves using specialized equipment like ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) and AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) to search for and assist people or objects in need. ROVs provide SAR forces with a set of eyes below the surface. For challenging missions, ROVs complement divers by documenting the underwater environment beforehand, aiding in mission planning. They can assist in locating missing persons, wreckage, or other objects in underwater environments.
