The Nautile is fitted with a scientific data acquisition and exploitation
system Aquanaut 3 including equipment onboard the vehicle and the surface ship.
The vehicle equipment is used for data acquisition and bottom navigational
measurements.
The equipment located in the navigation station are used for preparation, follow-up,
and recording of scientific data.
Data exploitation is carried out using the scientific ADELIE software dedicated to
scientists and installed aboard the ship.
The main changes are the following:
In the Nautile:
New sensors
(log, distancemeter, pressure, temperature)
Data acquisition by
scientific interfaced sensors continuously (optical and positioning parametres of the
scientific camera) or optionally (geocompass)
Availability and
acquisition of bottom navigational data (long baseline system, dead reckoning and hybrid
mode)
Acquisition and
dating of particular events (i.e.: photo shots)
On surface ship:
Availability and acquisition of surface
navigational data POSEIDON version 2002
Recording of data by vehicle (diving navigational data, parameters and
events) and by surface ship on CD-Rom (onel CD-Rom per diving) or DAT using VEMO+ software
Exploitation of data recorded by ADELIE software
Exploitation of
data using standard software like EXCEL
Implementation of a
diving preparation mode by the scientist using ADELIE, directly transmitted to Nautile via
the computer network.
