Held at the National Oceanographic Center, it combines traditional exhibit with in- water demonstration and conferences. Many companies used the venue to introduce new products and systems, and a comprehen- sive “New Technology” reports starts on page 50. Looking closer to home, this month New Wave Media, the owners of Marine Technology Reporter, offers the fourth OceanTech Expo (www.oceantechexpo.com) held under tents on the docks in Newport, Rhode Island. While OTE is substantially smaller than the large European shows, it has grown a steady and loyal following since its debut four years ago, and today stands as a true testing ground for innovation, as it combines traditional exhibits with a long list of in-water demonstrations, including: Bluefin Robotics’ Bluefin-9 AUV; Deep Ocean Engineering’s Vector T-4 ROV; Imagenex’ Model 965 Multibeam Imaging Sonar; Marine Sonic’s Seascan HDS Digital Sidescan Sonar; OceanServer’s IVER-2 AUV; Reson’s 7125 SV; SAIC’s Integrated Survey System (ISS); SeaBotix’ vLBV 300 ROV; Sea Sciences’ Acrobat Model LTV-50X Tow Vehicle; Sound Metrics’ ARIS Explorer 3000 Underwater Imaging Sonar; Tritech’s SeaKing Hammerhead Survey Sonar & Gemini Multibeam; VideoRay’s Pro 4 ROV; and GEG’s Inspection Class ROV ‘Predator’. This year is shaping up to be the best OTE yet, with the aforementioned in-water demon- strations; packed exhibit tents; a full roster of compelling speakers and topics (see the full schedule on pages 48-49); and three days of social networking and events. In particular, we are honored that CNO Admiral Gary Roughead has accepted our invitation to attend the “Sunset Reception” on Tuesday, May 17, in his honor, to receive his “Seamaster of the Year” award from MTR. The CNO has signaled the ambition to significantly increase the U.S. Navy’s use of unmanned underwater systems, and I’m certain his comments following the ceremony will be of interest to any and all serving the subsea industry. We look forward to seeing you there. All rights reserved.
