    Abstract: A system for monitoring a remote underwater location using an unmanned underwater vessel (5). The system includes an unmanned surface vessel (8), a communication unit (7) for submerged location and connected to the unmanned surface vessel (8) and in which the unmanned surface vessel has a position tracking control system for controlling the position of that vessel on a body of water and relative to the unmanned underwater vehicle (5). The communication unit (7) has a first wireless communication arrangement for communication with the unmanned underwater vehicle, a second wired communication arrangement (10) for communication with the unmanned surface vessel and the unmanned surface vessel has a third communication arrangement for communication with an operator or observer (1) remote from the unmanned surface vessel and the unmanned underwater vehicle. The three communication arrangements are arranged in series such that, in use, the operator or observer may communication with the unmanned/autonomous underwater vehicle via the unmanned surface vessel, the wired connection between the unmanned surface vessel and the communication unit, and the wireless connection between the communication unit and the unmanned underwater vehicle

    Abstract: A system for controlling a subsea device comprises a complimentary set of data communication interfaces operatively coupled to an electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller via a power conductor which defined data pathway between the subsea device and the remotely disposed device controller. A data transceiver is operatively coupled to the electronically interrogatable component and the remotely disposed device controller via the complimentary set of data communication interfaces over the power conductor. In configurations, control and/or telemetry or other data may be unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally transmitted between the electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller. In configurations, data faults may be monitored in a primary data path and, if a fault detected, control and/or telemetry or other data transmission switched to the power conductor data pathway, manually and/or automatically.

    Abstract: Machinery and methods are described whereby a free flying, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) can safely capture and take on board lightly managed seismic sensor devices (payload) while they are in-transit via a surface vessel in a (deep) water column. ROV payload can be replenished without the need for the ROV to return to the surface vessel to receive additional payload and to do so without the need for heavy launch and recovery machinery. The reverse process of returning payload from the ROV to the surface vessel is also disclosed.
