FLAMINGO towed, underwater vehicle
is simple and cost-effective tool for general and specialized
ocean research. An ideal platform for mounting of environmental
control, oceanographic or hydroacoustic equipment. Originally
designed as a tow fish for mine hunting side scan sonar
meets strongest demands for three dimensional motion stability.
Due to carefully designed streamlined body and stabilizers
the vehicle is characterized by low drag and nonturbulent
water flow around the body.
An opportunity for discrete and continuous oceanographic
measurements like salinity, temperature, transparency, magnetism
or fluorescence could be made in real time.
A dedicated TV system and underwater photographic equipment
with side scan sonar and magnetometer can change towed vehicle
into a powerful and effective search vehicle.
An addition of active rudder or ailerons is possible for
increasing maneuverability and effective observation area. |
