Product Description
The oceans are hostile. Gathering information on life, the seabed, indeed any topic, is incredibly difficult. Autonomous Under Vehicles are robots that are revolutionising the way researchers and industry obtain data. Advances in technology have resulted in capable vehicles that have made new discoveries on how oceans work and have dramactically reduced the cost to industry of surveying the seabed. This book describes the technologies that have made this happen and a host of applications from fish abundance studies to finding diamonds beneath the sea. It is essential reading for those wanting to make the best use of autonomous vehicles. |

| The ROV Manual: A User Guide for Observation Class Remotely Operated Vehicles
by Robert D Christ (Author), Robert L. Wernli Sr (Author)
Many underwater operations that were once carried out by divers can now be carried out more efficiently and with less risk with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This is the first ROV 'how-to' manual for those involved with smaller observation class ROVs used for surveying, inspection, observation and research purposes. As ROV technology becomes increasingly efficient and affordable, their use is rapidly spreading throughout a myriad of industries, everything from aquaculture to port and...

| Submarine Technology for the 21st Century
by Stan Zimmerman (Author)
The book is a survey of emerging technologies applicable to combat submarines, using worldwide sources. Today's combat submarine holds a crew of less than 200 men, equal to a company of infantry. Yet these few submariners can command a sea or destroy a civilization. Never has so much combat power been wielded by so few warriors. This concentration of power is made possible by innovative use of technologies, including rocketry, acoustics, hydrodynamics, nuclear power, advanced chemistry,...
