News Forum Subsea Technologies an- nounced the placement on permanent display of a Sub-Atlantic Mohawk ob- servation class remotely operated ve- hicle (ROV) at the Titanic Belfast Mu- seum to help tell the story of the RMS Titanic. The newly opened Titanic Belfast Museum, the world?s largest Titanic visitor attraction, is lo- cated in the heart of Belfast. Saturday, September 1, 2012 marks the anniversary of the discovery of the wreck of RMS Titanic. On this date in 1985, Robert Ballard, Jean-Louis Mi-chel and their French-American team  nally located the wreckage of one of the most famous and tragic ships in his- tory. The discovery was made possible due to the development of ARGO-Jason, a remotely operated system to locateand videotape underwater objects. The ARGO-Jason was primitive by today?s standards and was towed on a sled un- derwater by a ship. In contrast, the fully electric Mohawk ROV is a compact, high-performance ROV system which can be used for a variety of underwater tasks including observation, survey, NDT inspections and other mission tasks. Those black and white images transmitted by ARGO back in 1985 have been replaced by full color High De nition images taken by multiple cameras and sensor interfaces. The Mohawk features: auto-heading and depth, AC propulsion thrusters, hy- draulic or electric manipulators and is capable of several tooling skid options. iRobot, Nortek to Provide Workshop at Oceans iRobot Corporation (IRBT) and Nortek AS will provide a free workshop during Oceans 2012, Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, VA. This workshop ?Improving Glider Missions with Integrated ADCP,? Monday, Oct 15, 2012, will highlight technical features of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), iRobot Sea- glider and the Nortek ADCP. Workshop topics will include a review of the mar- ried technologies, current and future applications of unmanned mission for researchers and industry. In this half-day workshop, scientists and engineers from Nortek and iRobot will discuss considerations for operating a glider with an integrated ADCP.
