Low-Cost Launch and Recovery System For Qianlong I AUV

摘要

The ability to safely launch and recover an AUV is critical, especially for large-scale, deep-sea missions. Qianlong I is a 6,000-meter-rated Chinese AUV that performs near-bottom topography measurement, undersea photography and hydrological parameter measurement. When the AUV began development in 2011, a launch and recovery system was developed alongside as well.
