A search expert has vowed to provide 'answers' regarding the missing MH370 using revolutionary technology.

It's been over ten years since the Malaysian Airlines flight 370 first went missing on March 8, 2014.

The flight, carrying 239 people onboard, set off on it's journey from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China.

However, the flight soon disappeared off the air traffic control radar and it was never seen again.

Since 2014, several pieces of wreckage believed to be from flight MH370 have been found since 2014, however, formal investigations led by Australia and Malaysia have failed to provide answers as to what happened - leading to all search operations ceasing in 2017.

An official report suggested that the aircraft had turned off electronic signal communications, executed a U-less than an hour into its flight before plummeting somewhere into the ocean.

However, like with many unsolved mysteries, many have come up with their own theories.

But thanks to a Netflix documentary last year, and the recent BBC doc, Why Planes Vanish: The Hunt for MH370, the discussion surrounding MH370 is far from going away.

And now, the US-based Deep Sea Vision has provided fresh hope in the hunt for the Malaysian Airlines flight.

The CEO of the company, Tony Romeo, told 60 Minutes on Sunday (March 17) that Deep Sea Vision is capable of making a breakthrough in the long-running saga using 'unbelievable' technology.

Romeo said a craft called a Hugin 6000 would be sent down to the ocean floor in a bid to find the missing plane.

He said: "It flies at 50 metres above the seafloor and it just goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

"Big eyes, looking at everything it can see, sucks and stores data, comes back up to the surface, we pluck a thumb drive into it, pull the data out, and we watch it on a computer exactly what it looked at."

Only small amounts of debris have been found so far.

The CEO went on to claim that the company's drones have the capability of scouring four times the ground covered than in previous search attempts.

He also claimed that the tech could detect the finest details, adding: "The equipment that we have, it's unbelievable how well it can see.

"It can't quite read a credit card number off the bottom of the sea floor, but you can get pretty close."

Malaysia has since backed a 'no find, no fee' regarding searches for MH370, meaning firms can participate so long as they have no expectation of reward or compensation.

And Romeo feels that the company is ready to start it's search, adding: "I feel like we've proved our credibility, we've proved our competence.

"We've proved our ability to take equipment and use novel techniques. And I believe that the Malaysian government wants answers.

"I refuse to believe that they do not want a huge accident, a huge crash like this to go unresolved. It just isn't fair, it wouldn't be fair to the families."

This isn't the only mystery Deep Sea Vision reportedly has evidence for - as the company have also previously claimed to have found evidence of Amelia Earhart's fallen aircraft.
