Requirements

The AUV comes with two 20 ft. containers.
The one is used for the transport of the vehicle, spare parts and consumables.
The second container contains the control computers for the AUV operation including different radio links and a mission planning computer. A work bench and tools as well as a set of spare parts and consumables is available in the control container.

The vehicle has a footprint of 2x6m including the craddle.
It needs to placed below the A-frame or crane supposed to deploy the vehicle.
The Control container (20' ISO container) can be placed on the working deck near the AUV.
The Transport container can also be placed on the working deck as a storage for spare parts but it can also be placed in a storage place.
A small Rack (80cm wide, 1m deep, 40cm high) with the power supplys to charge the AUV must be placed within a distance of 12m to the AUV.

- Power Supply
The control container needs a power supply of 400VAC 50Hz 32A.
The AUV Charger needs a power supply of 240V 50Hz 4kW.

- Communication
A intercom link to the ships bridge
The control container has also a 2-way radio for marine communications and walkie-talkies for the AUV crew communication (container , deck and working boat)
A LAN interface is required for the control container to connect to the ships network. It is necessary to bring the AUV position data from the ship borne Posidonia system into the AUV control computer.
A LAN link from the container to the bridge is needed for the Laptop displaying the AUV position on the ships bridge

The AUV will be controlled by two people during the dive. The two operators are watching the AUV behavior and control the AUV position via Posidonia. They will inform the ships bridge about the current mission status and the next manoeuvre planned.
There will be one member of the AUV team on deck to coordinate the activities during launch and recovery.
A rubber boat with two or three people is needed for the recovery of the AUV to hook the recovery gear onto the AUV
