DVD Training on AUV Selection

  09/09/2010
Hosted by Dr. Art Trembanis of the University of Delaware, and narrated by Capone, the AUV programme on DVD, entitled The Not in the Manual Guide to Autonomous Underwater Vehicles starts with basic definitions and concepts, building into a detailed discussion of vehicle capabilities, sensor packages, survey strategies and field operations. It's a progressive, step-by-step overview that helps personnel make well-informed decisions on what product will suit them best. Manufacturers include such companies as Lockheed Martin, Bluefin Robotics, Gavia and Kongsberg.



The Not in the Manual Guide to Autonomous Underwater Vehicles is approximately two hours in length, includes an acronym guide, and is geared to the operator and manager alike. Later this year, Black Laser Learning will be developing a downloadable version of the programme, making the information even more easily accessed.


Training via DVD comes into play when making the time to research manufacturers can be challenging. Demanding schedules and tight budgets can make it difficult to attend live training courses. The ability to map the ocean floor, lay cable, locate shipwrecks and hunt mines are just some of the varied needs required by marine-related industries around the globe. As advances in underwater technology continue to grow, so, too, does the need to understand and work with the myriad of vehicles available today.


Black Laser Learning's clients include the military, law enforcement personnel, underwater archaeologists, offshore oil and gas organizations, and marine survey companies.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
