中国部署新的Haidou-1深水AUV
中国科学院
该公司于6月9日宣布，已在前往西太平洋的考察中部署了其新的具备海深一号能力的深水自动潜水器（AUV）。
3.8米长的Haidou-1 AUV
是CAS子公司的联合开发
沉阳自动化研究所（SIA），
哈尔滨工程大学
中国科学院附属的西安光学精密机械研究所。
Detailed specifications of the AUV
have not been disclosed by CAS, although still and video imagery of the vehicle indicates that it is equipped with a pair of altitude thrusters fore and steerable hydroplanes with built-in thrusters towards the aft.
According to state media, Haidou-1
was dispatched from the research vessel Tansuo-1
and reached a depth of 10,907 m (35,784 ft) in the Mariana Trench on 14 May – a new record for Chinese underwater vehicles – during one of four deepwater surveys performed under the auspices of the TS-17 scientific mission.
Haidou-1 reportedly used, for the first time, indigenously developed “high-precision” deepwater acoustic positioning and multisensor information fusion technologies.
The AUV was also seen travelling on the seabed performing tasks such as sample collection and marker laying in video footage aired by state broadcaster CCTV,
and is claimed to have provided researchers with valuable information on geological, biological, and chemical data, and ocean currents.
