SUK Underwater Vehicles Conference 21.11.17 SHUTTLE-SUBs
AC-ROV 3000m Fly-out System Introduced in 2011
MAC-ROV 6000m Fly-out System (2017) 6000m, 4k and HD cameras, SM fibre telemetry Expandable architecture, snag free displacement design Full 6 degrees of freedom for total spatial control Centreless, magnetic coupled, fluid filled thrusters for foul proof operation and Low/No maintenance Highly corrosion and erosion resistant wetted and moving parts 250m excursion TMS
Any Depth Access System Fundamentals DEPLOY LOCATE OBSERVE SAMPLE RECOVER LARS and TMS Sonar; USBL, Bathymetry, Side scan Cameras and Lighting Manipulation / Coring / Lifting Payload Capacity (ROV, TMS and LARS)
ROV / Submersible Selection Determine maximum depth, tooling and power requirements. Select an ROV with suitable payload, power and telemetry capacity. Determine the maximum gross weight of the ROV allowing for added payload. Match this to a suitable LARS, TMS and lift umbilical. Is there another way to carry power and tools to target and recover loads?
How about this? MAC-ROV MAC-ROV TMS 2 Manipulators Corer & Winch at Back Bathymetric and Side scan sonar
