Description
Summary:The use of towed underwater unmanned vehicles equipped with photo, video, and sonar systems has proven its effectiveness in studying the seafloor surface in integrated research of the World Ocean. This class of devices solves a wide range of tasks, including biological studies of benthic fauna and surveys of underwater technogenic objects. The towed vehicle “Videomodule” was developed at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, and has been successfully employed for such surveys for several years. The paper discusses the technical features and application issues of working with the “Videomodule.”
