  • Abstract
    A small computer controlled submarine capable of carrying out various underwater tasks has been designed and built. The vehicle continues to be developed and improved. It has operated for many hours under computer control and has made test runs where oceanographic data have been measured, stored, and eventually printed out. The vehicle is approximately 2.3 m long, .37 m diameter, and weighs 110 kg, in air.
