This paper reports the results of sea trials of the Nereus hybrid underwater robotic vehicle (HROV) conducted in May and June 2009 in the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench, where the vehicle successfully performed scientific observation and sampling operations at hadal depths of 10,903 m. The Nereus underwater vehicle is designed to perform scientific survey and sampling to the full depth of the...
This paper reports an overview of the new Nereus hybrid underwater vehicle and summarizes the vehicle's performance during its first sea trials in November 2007. Nereus is a novel operational underwater vehicle designed to perform scientific survey and sampling to the full depth of the ocean of 11,000 meters - almost twice the depth of any present-day operational vehicle. Nereus operates in two different...
The Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle (HROV) Nereus, developed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) with the support of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (SSC San Diego) and the Johns Hopkins University, is intended to provide a new level of access for deep oceanographic research to a maximum depth of 11,000 meters. Nereus operates in two different modes. The vehicle...
The Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle (HROV), being designed and built by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) with the support of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (SSC San Diego), will provide a new level of accessibility for deep ocean research. HROV will be primarily an autonomous vehicle but will be reconfigurable to a teleoperated system by the installation of a fiber...
