Following Proven Research
|
|
|
The SubC Drop Camera System (DCS) provides non-destructive visual monitoring over sensitive underwater features like reefs and rocky bottoms. It deploys directly over the target area to gather high-resolution imagery without disturbing the seabed |
|
|
The DCS solution's deployment stability is based on its optimized mechanical design and does not rely on active components. |
|
|
Stability: |
Optional weight plates reduce cable angle and drift in higher-current conditions, ensuring a stable, vertical descent. |
|
Current Alignment & Altitude Control: |
Passive directional stability is achieved using the optional Stability Tail, which aligns the system with ocean currents to prevent twisting and yaw. Altitude is strictly controlled by the operator via the winch, utilizing real-time data from the integrated Altimeter, eliminating the need for seabed contact |
|
Integrated Tether: |
The strong Kevlar drop cable design simplifies deployment by combining a load-bearing tether with a single twisted pair (TWP) for power and communications, removing the need for a separate winch wire. |
