- Topside and underwater video - Sub bottom high resolution imaging - Topside atmospheric measures - Provide multipurpose tools for lab technicians doing simultaneous,onboard analyses- Line of sight broadband data transmission The system is designed to accommodate substantially great-er complexity than the base system, as, for example it is con- templated that the investigators may eventually want systems like a towed eel with dozens of sensors. The laboratory system as speciÞ ed includes a capable sub bottom imaging system. It is a plug and play system, with its own processing. The included device has an over the side mount and can be interfaced with the notebook computer or to either of the rack mounts. The data it produces is industry standard SEG-Y format but other formats are included with the third party software. Other remote sensing devices may be desirable and can be added, such as side scan sonar, mag- netometer and radiometer. Deep Ocean?s H-1750 Deep Ocean Engineering (DOE) based in San Jose, Califor- nia, is certainly no stranger to the subsea community, start- ing as a small engineering company in 1982 and delivering to date more than 500 ROV systems worldwide. While the DOE name is perhaps most immediately and closely associated with ROVs, it has considerable experience in the design and delivery of sophisticated unmanned surface vessels, including the new RC Survey Boat H-1750, a catamaran which was on display at Ocean Business in Southampton, a unique USV that helped to spark a number of interesting conversations over the course of the three day event. According to the company, the H-1750 offers a number of logistics advantages, but topping the list is the fact that it is lightweight, designed to be easily shippable and assembled in minutes by one person. (In fact, the DOE is quick to point out that its size makes it easily shippable as oversized checked baggage for plane ß ights.)The vessel can be launched from land via a shoreline or launched off a pier, dock, boat etc, and it Þ ts fully assembled Deep Ocean?s new RC Survey Boat H-1750, a lightweight catamaran, is designed to be easily shippable and assembled in minutes by one person.
