Abstract :
The HYSUB 5000 is a remote-operated vehicle (ROV) being developed for the Canadian Government. It is a multi-purpose vehicle designed specifically for scientific applications. The concept was originated by potential users, and refined in consultation with International Submarine Engineering Ltd. This vehicle is a further development of an existing family of hydraulic vehicles. It is capable of performing a wide variety of tasks where large payload and good manipulative ability is required. This vehicle uses optical fibres in the deep water umbilical to ensure high speed telemetry and video quality. Design considerations associated with working deep, with fibre optic cables and with operational requirements are discussed.
