MTR100At major technology centers and national laboratories around the world, Battelle conducts cutting-edge research and develop- ment, designs and manufactures products, and delivers critical services for government and commercial customers. The Company The Company Battelle, the world?s largest independent research and devel- opment organization, is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1929, Battelle operates in three broad areas: Na- tional Security; Energy, Health and Environment; and Labora- tory Management. It offers a full service line of products and system development to enhance the ef ciency and affordabil- ity of maritime operations. We provide engineering solutions and systems for maritime and underwater applications. Our high-speed data communicators, oil spill detection and track-ing systems, and autonomous sensor systems are just some of the maritime technologies that will help provide safe, accurate exploration and monitoring in harsh environments. A wholly owned subsidiary of Battelle, Blue n Robotics, manufactures unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) that provide increased endurance and large payload while reducing risk to operators. The Tech The Tech  Submersibles: Strengths are technology development and  elding customized systems, leveraging extensive experience in engineering undersea vehicles and subcomponents to offer nearly limitless possibilities for undersea vehicles, including greater depth, larger battery size or any number of specialized recon gurations. The advanced capabilities of the Proteus Du- al-Mode Undersea Vehicle platform also enable increased au- tonomy and endurance for longer and more complex missions.  Mission Persistence : Battelle?s UUV Docking and Recharg- ing Station (UDRS) keeps submersibles at depth longer and reduces turnaround time to extend underwater mission perfor- mance for safer, more ef cient and more discreet operations.  Reduced Total Ownership Cost : Systems are designed and built for long-term use, low maintenance and cost-ef cient deployment. Battelle keeps costs down by providing technol- ogy refreshment throughout a system?s lifecycle and extending system maintenance cycles to maximize long-term investments and reduce total ownership cost of maritime technologies.  Ocean Sensors: Battelle designs, manufactures, produces and distributes ocean sensors for a variety of commercial and military applications. Sensors such as Battelle?s Seaology pCO- 2monitoring system have been used by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) since 2009 to support its Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and measure CO2 in maritime environments. Testing Testing Battelle-owned and ?operated-facilities for maritime and sub- sea research are located at six primary locations and include a variety of testing capabilities. They include:  Columbus, Ohio?Research pool; pressure chambers to 30,000 psi; wet and spectroscopic analytical chemistry labora-tories; shock, vibration and fatigue testing; electronics, electro- optics and software laboratories.
