 Structure : Rectangular shape composed of tubular aluminum framework 

 which encloses and supports all components. 



Buoyancy: A syntactic foam block mounted atop the framework provides 

 positive buoyancy. Vehicle operates at 5 lbs (2.3kg) positive buoyancy 

 and descends/ascends by virtue of thrusters. 



Power Requirements : 60 Hz, 3-phase, 220 V and i+UO V, 15 KVA capacity 

 required. 



Propulsion : Three reversible electric thrusters, continuously variable 

 speed control. Two are stern-mounted and provide forward/reverse 

 thrust and develop a maximum thrust of 80 lbs (36kg). One is mounted 

 amidships and provides vertical thrust of i+0 lbs (iBkg) maximum. 

 Instrumentation : CCTV mounted on a tilt mechanism which can orient the 

 camera 10 degrees up and 90 degrees down. One mercury vapor, variable 

 intensity, ^00 watt light. Depth sensor (5 percent accuracy). Magnetic 

 compass. Automatic depth keeping capability provided. 

 Navigation : Visual sighting and magnetic compass. The system is 

 equipped to accommodate the Honeywell RS-T digital acoustic positioning 

 reference system. The RS-T can display the vehicle's position and 

 another known location relative to the support ship with a position 

 accuracy plus or minus 1 percent of depth. 



Shipboard Components : Control/display console, umbilical cable/winch, 

 transformer package. 



Support Ship Requirements : Approximately UO sq ft (3.T sq m) of deck 

 space for the control station and 500 sq ft (U6.5 sq m) for the winch 

 and launch area. Total 5^0 sq ft (50.2 sq m) .
