Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] mini subs in Australia?
Hi,
I am interested in mini subs for marine geophysical survey.
Are there any groups within Australia that I could be made
aware of?
Specs I am interested in are:
1.
Speed – 4knots would be ideal
2.
Endurance – the longer the better – max survey
duration is essential
3.
Auto depth and Auto bearing – being on survey for
extended periods of ‘on line’ so would be good to not have to continuously
have to monitor depth and bearing.
4.
Access via top – no point being wet for long
durations on survey.
The intent is to carry/tow a scientific payload of acoustic
and other sensors. Water depth would just need to be say 20m deep to avoid any
surface weather issues.
Any info or direction would be much appreciated.
