Advanced Tethered Vehicle

Abstract

The Advanced Tethered Vehicle (ATV) is a self-contained, remotely operated submersible system designed to carry out Navy work missions at ocean depths to 20,000 feet. It consists of a submersible vehicle, tether cable, handling system, control station, and auxiliary equipment. The vehicle is positively buoyant and carries two force feedback manipulators and interchangeable tools for performing work. The system has completed a rigorous test program that accumulated 248 operating hours and concluded with a successful dive to 20,600 feet. (Author)
