The JASON Remotely Operated Vehicle System

Abstract

The JASON remotely operated vehicle (ROV) system has been under development for the last decade. After a number of engineering test cruises, including the discovery of the R.M.S. Titanic and the German Battleship Bismarck, this ROV system is now being implemented in oceanographic investigations. This paper explains its development history and its unique ability to carry out a broad range of scientific research. Deep submergence engineering, Robotics and control, Telepresence and telecommunications.
