Remotely Operated Vehicle ROV/AUV Reliability Study. Phase 2.
Abstract
A Remotely Operated (ROV) reliability study was initiated in two phases to determine how ROVs can be designed and built to achieve enhanced operational reliability when operated during extended underwater deployment. The contractor was to examine the technology used in the design and construction of representative ROVs which are currently state-of-the-art and document proposed design or construction methodology to effect high reliability. This report is the contract final report of the Phase I study efforts and Phase II Statement Of Work (SOW) development. The results of the Phase I study were compiled and detailed in the study report (Delivered Separately). It was recommended that efforts should be initiated up front to develop technological approaches and design and manufacturing criteria to address the long term reliability problems identified in the study. A prioritized listing of recommended theoretical and experimental work was developed from the study results and forwarded in the form of a proposal for Phase II tasking approval.
