Below find a selection of videos showing our RISER™ systems in action.

Ropeless RISER™

A system for ropeless fishing.

2024 Ropeless Consortium

  • Presented during the 2024 Ropeless Consortium in Providence, RI, This video serves as an overview of the progress made by Ropeless Systems since last year's consortium.

  • We highlight our involvement in fishing operations off the coast of California, a multi-access acoustic interoperability test performed in Cohasset, MA, and our journey toward Design for Manufacture.

 

2023 Ropeless Consortium

  • Produced for the 2023 Ropeless Consortium, this presentation provides an update on our ropeless fishing products.

  • We explore how our Single Ping Positioning™ real-time acoustic gear location works and the advantages it has over GPS-based gear marking systems.

  • We also detail some updated features introduced in our latest Ropeless RISER™ system and how its air-saving feature allows for more deployments on a single air supply.

2022 Ropeless Consortium

  • Presented during the 2022 Ropeless Consortium virtual event, this video reviews the progress made by Ropeless Systems since last year's consortium and a preview of what's to come.

  • We highlight the enhanced features of our new RISER-MTA transponder actuator, our Single Ping Positioning™ system, and how they work together to locate gear on the seafloor, automatically and in real-time.

 
 

2021 Ropeless Consortium

  • This video provides an update on the progress made since last year's Ropeless Consortium and lays out our plans and goals for the future.

  • Presented during the 2021 Ropeless Consortium virtual event.

  • Presented by David Capotosto, CEO of Ropeless Systems, Inc.

2020 Ropeless Consortium

  • Ropeless RISER™ is introduced as a truly ropeless solution for Ropeless Fishing.

  • This presentation was given during the 2020 Ropeless Consortium virtual event.

  • Presented by Dr. Harold “Bud” Vincent, President of DBV Technology, LLC, and CTO of Ropeless Systems, Inc.

 
 

Field test of
Ropeless RISER™

  • This video shows the ascent and rearming of a trap mounted Ropeless RISER, a ropeless fishing product currently in development.

  • Universal trap-mounted configuration

  • 200lb lift bag

Ropeless RISER™ Gear Location

  • This video shows a simulation of how our system would appear on a chartplotter.

  • Demonstrates our patent pending Single Ping Positioning™ technology.

  • Illustrates how single traps and trawls are differentiated on the shipboard display

 

Various RISER™ Systems

Designs for a variety of non-fishing applications.

RISER™ Lift Line

  • A pop-up buoy alternative.

  • 50 feet of 3/8” line is deposited as the system ascends.

  • Annular ring bag has a lift capacity of 80lbs.

  • Actuator, air cylinder, and extended battery are housed inside the spool body.

 
 

RISER™ BCS - ORCA

  • RISER Buoyancy Control System (BCS) on a MK-V ORCA enclosed flotation bag.

  • Designed for the safe removal of underwater explosives and mines.

  • Features controlled ascent to ensure the payload does not become forced loose or detached.

RISER™ GP-TRBM

  • Early system being tested in a pool.

  • Lifting a trawl-resistant bottom mount used for oceanographic research.

  • An internal enclosed flotation bag inflates to facilitate instrument recovery.

 
 

RISER™ SIMS V3

  • A zero environmental footprint recovery system for Vemco Acoustic Monitoring Receiver.

  • As the system ascends, its anchor is towed to the surface. It leaves nothing behind.

  • The system can be positioned anywhere in the water column.

  • A 200lb lift bag is housed internally. Once actuated the lift bag ejects from the housing and inflates.

RISER™ SIMS V2

  • An earlier version of RISER™ SIMS with the same zero environmental footprint operation.

  • Originally designed for the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) for use within Australian marine sanctuaries.

  • Annular ring bag has a lift capacity of 200 lbs.

 
 

RISER™ TRBM-MINI

  • Outfitted with a gimbal and fish tracker

  • Lifting a trawl-resistant bottom mount used for oceanographic research.

  • A smaller footprint than a standard TRBM
