The submarine in the Baltic Sea have been investigated by the remote-controlled underwater vehicle V8 Sii from the Swedish Ocean Modules. The vehicle in the picture have different equipment than that used in the find.
The Swedish-developed remote-controlled mini-submarine made the discovery in the Baltic Sea.
The company Ocean X Team has investigated mini-submarine in the Baltic Sea with an unmanned underwater vehicle, called a ROV, Remote Operated Vehicle. The small ROV named the V8 Sii and comes from the Swedish company Ocean Modules in Atvidaberg. It has an advanced control system that can turn the vehicle 360 degrees and is equipped with a grabber, a zoomable camera and sonar.
– It is a very sophisticated sonar which provides detailed pictures where it is too dark for the video camera, says Peter Lindberg at Ocean X Team.
The sonar called Blue View and comes from American Teledyne. It is a so-called real-time sonar that provides dynamic pictures by sending out a wide range of sound pulses.
– Many believe that submarine lying down, but the pictures are taken from the side, and shows how it stands up on the seabed. The sticking up in the middle is the tower, says Peter Lindberg.
Iinnan ROV was sent into the depths so the submarine was located by using of a lateral sonar, which is lagging behind a ship and scan a 100-meter wide field laterally. The approximate position of the team had received from the Icelandic company Ixplorer.
Peter Lindberg was there when the discovery was made last week.
– That’s our job, but it is clear that it was happy when we found the submarine, he said.
ROV then sent down to investigate the find nearly was stuck in the ship with a cable that gave the 600 V power supply. The images sent back via fiber optic cable. The control was made with two joysticks and a number dials.
How deep discovery was made stating Oceans X Team did not.
– But it is pretty deep for ordinary divers, says Peter Lindberg.
