The Role Of Rovs In Underwater Research

This report was commissioned to review the Collins Class Submarine Project “Deep trouble”. The primary objective of this report is to analyses the dimensions of risk that need continuous management due to inter-relationships of all elements within Project Management and the importance of stakeholders. The topic was researched through extensive sources, including government bodies, course materials and other sources to provide the relevant information.

One of those uses is that it allows for archaeologist to use infrared satellites to dicover ancient tombs, settlements, and artifacts ( Search For Ancient Civilizations, Juan De Los Santos, paragraph 2). Underwater treasure salvaging is useful because it allows for ancient artifacts such as coins and jewels to be found in shipwrecks. Finding ancient coins, jewels, and artifacts allow for us to have a clearer idea on what happened in our oceans in the past (Florida Waters Treasure Hunters, Scott L. Key, paragraphs 3,8, and 9).

This separation presented communication and data-sharing challenges. Furthermore, the new design contained a number of technical risks, one of them was designing a submarine that would operate in a manner and environment very different from what Kockums was accustomed to. The risk resulted fuel system has been proven to be problematic. Swedish submarines have short patrols in calm, relatively fresh water. When a similar design was used in the salty, open water in which Australian submarines operate, water was sucked into the engine causing failure. Moreover, the RAN submarines transit greater distance and are on station for months at time, which has number of implications for fuel storage, hotel service, and other hull design features. The difference in operation concept and environment ultimately led to some equipment and system decision during design that caused problems with operations and supportability.

Not only did we have ships, but we had a device called the Turtle. Invented nearly 150 years before, it was not until the Revolutionary War that the submarine would be used in combat. A man named David Bushnell would develop the Turtle to deploy underwater mines. The Turtle would fail all of its missions and would be lost at the Battle of Fort Lee when the ship transporting it would be sunk. “Despite the failures of the Turtle, General George Washington gave Bushnell a commission as an Army engineer…After the war, he became commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.”(History 1).

A submarine is defined as “something that functions or operates underwater; specifically: a naval vessel designed to operate underwater.” This definition holds true today but started at the beginning of the Civil War when submarines originally became a popular choice of weaponry. In general, submarine crews were composed of a commander, who steered the boat, and six or more men who used hand cranks to move the boat. Many inventors intended on creating electric motors to move the boat, but they were unable to produce enough torque. Submarines were primarily used in combat because they could travel invisibly. Innovations like submarines did not just change the way people fought wars–they also changed the way people lived.

Before World War II, the submarine was very predictable and easily managed with detection systems, depth detection, and antisubmarine forces. The aircrafts were harder to manage, and could easily penetrate enemy territory. It was not so predictable.[xii]

Astonishingly, Did you know that we have better maps of the moon than we do of the ocean? (#7) It’s true! Scientists are working to make drones to explore the deep sea. Ocean Exploration is a developing science that incorporates the use of marine biology and drone technology. Ocean Exploration technology will be an overall benefit to society because 1. exploring the ocean is easier than before and 2. ocean exploration can help with monitoring the deep sea.

The Royal Australian Navy’s Collins Class Submarine is designed to replace the 30 year old Oberon Submarines. The Collins Class is the first submarine to be made in Australia and is the most advanced of its time due to its software architecture. Deep Trouble addresses various issues that were faced during the design and development stages of the Collins Class project. This report will focus on the interrelationship between the three PMBOK knowledge areas of scope, procurement and quality management and the impact each had on the final project.

Going far down into the unknown waters where humans would be crushed. Workers can save by robots from performing dangerous tasks.

The sources tie together with one another by explaining the purpose of the Turtle "submarine". Source number one explains on how the turtle was used and what it was used for. Source number two examines his actions used in the Turtle and what his mission was. It shows the steps used to complete the mission in source number two, stated in source number one. On septemeber 6th Lee entered the Turtle to attack the Eagle. It was the first time in history for submarine warfare.

i. These vehicles could be used to collect data for climate research, ocean exploration, offshore oil exploration and production and even surveillance of pipelines and telecommunications.

Semi-submersible rigs can be applied to drill in the much deeper water than the rigs mentioned above. Now with a technology advancements, depths of up to 6,000 feet (1,800 m) could be reached safely and easily. This type of rig platform will drill a hole in the seabed and can be quickly moved to new locations.Semi-submersible rigs can be applied to drill in the much deeper water than the rigs mentioned above.

First of all, ocean exploration technology has advanced much more than before in the past decade. In the past, people had to bring everything needed for scuba diving which included hundreds of pounds of gear and photographing technology. Now, all you need is the drone and an ocean. There are many things needed for scuba diving. Such as, oxygen tanks and diving gear that also cost lots of money. With drones, ocean exploration will be much cheaper and faster than scuba divers ever have been. (#2) According to a journalist, Kimberly Pierceall, from Military Times, from her article ‘Researchers Want To Use Drones For Ocean Floor Exploration’ She said that, “..They (Scientists) hope (12 research drones) will survey the deepest parts of the ocean faster — and cheaper — than anyone has done before” (Pierceall, 2017). This evidence proves that with new developing ocean technology, exploring will be cheaper and faster than it ever has before. This is a benefit to society because researchers will be able to explore vast amounts of the

For many years humans have struggled to discover the deepest parts of the ocean and have also struggled with discovering space. We could not go really deep into the ocean, because humans can not withstand the pressure that the ocean produces. But now there is a robot that can reach the ocean floor called “The Benthic Rover”. With that new robot, scientist will be able to record how changes on the surface of the ocean will impact the marine animals below. “What is special about the rover is that we will be able to stay in the deep parts of the ocean for a really long time collecting seasonal changes data” (Engineer Alana Sherman). With Benthic Rover,
