Special-purpose AUV for cable touchdown monitoring and registration
On request of Alcatel-Lucent, Seatools performed a conceptual design study on an AUV capable of accurately monitoring and recording a cable’s touchdown point.
The autonomous vehicle is capable of traveling down the cable and subsequently maintains station at a predefined altitude near the touchdown point. During cable laying, the vehicle maintains this position and continuously measures and records the cable touchdown point.
