Designing and building ocean landers is simplified by close collaboration with a stratum of key suppliers whose products meet the challenges of the deep sea.
Herewith we highlight some of our favorites.
Releases
EdgeTech <Edgetech.com>: Among their many release systems is the circular BART board (Burnwire Acoustic Release Transponder). (See Figure 1.) The roughly 6” diameter board fits perfectly into a 10” sphere (Glass: Nautilus Marine Service; GPA: Global Ocean Design). The low frequency transmission sends complex command codes reliably up to 16km distant. End users can request an extended command suite that will provide up to 5 total unique burnwire commands. Burnwires: Global Ocean Design <globaloceandesign.com>. Two sizes: rated 125-lbs or 250-lbs. Mounts hold burnwires rigid in all axes except one; a single lever mount design supports 1,250-lbs, and a double-lever mount design holds 5,000-lbs. Ping on Rob Morris <[email protected]> for more info.
SubSeaSonics <subseasonics.com>: Low cost, shallow water, single release, acoustic and countdown timers. Not heavy duty, but good for floats and light coastal work.
Housings
Nautilus Marine Service <vitrovex.com/en>: Famous for Vitrovex Glass housings used for both buoyancy and housings, some rated for up to 12km. (See Figure 2.) (U.S. rep: Brock Rosenthal, Ocean Innovations,
