80000

Notice Description

SALMO deliver a deep-water survey capability using two Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). The Authority are looking to procure a training aid to be solely used in launch and recovery operations. The vehicle will need to be provisioned of a dummy HUGIN body, manufactured in heavy-duty plastic, including the provision to adjust buoyancy by adding weights.

Lot Information

Lot 1

A 'Dummy' Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) that displays the same passive characteristics of a 'real' AUV whilst on the surface. Is positively buoyant but which can be trimmed to match the local environmental conditions. Should contain a method of Recovery which can be used in conjunction with the current KM9 & KM11 Stinger launch & recovery (LARS) systems via a nose rope recovery system and winch. Should contain a light and be painted in a dayglow colour. In essence a more economical vehicle for the sole purpose of training mother ship bridge crew in the manoeuvring of either new or unaccustomed large offshore vessels around the AUV in the water and Launch and Recovery deck teams without compromising and exposing to unnecessary risk expensive and operationally required equipment.
