In any case, Admiral Quigley said the 60-degree list of the Kursk put it "beyond the design parameters of the United States deep submergence rescue vehicles".
Other specialized vessels include the deep submergence research vehicle known as "Alvin," which can carry a pilot and two scientific observers to a depth of 4,000 metres.
He was talking about his proffering of ideas on the BP oil spill; what he had to offer, he said at the D: All Things Digital conference yesterday, was his familiarity with "the very small deep submergence community".
By and large studies of these environments rely on deep submergence vehicles.
The project involved the use of highly sophisticated deep submergence technologies including towed acoustic and visual search vehicles, a nuclear research submarine, and an advanced remotely operated vehicle.
This paper describes a simplified control scheme to design a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for an underwater vehicle namely, deep submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV).
Chris German, Chief Scientist for Deep Submergence at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution here in Massachusetts, has been busy finding undersea volcanoes with the help of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Rear Admiral Joseph Krol, director of Deep Submergence Systems says his office hadn't realized the scientific value of such "incidental data" until 1993, when the Navy began donating time aboard Arctic subs for science.
