Deep Sea Infrastructures
IFREMER, IN2P3, INFN

• Design deployment procedures of detector parts
• Study technologies needed (available or not) for
  deep-sea operation with the aim of optimizing
  them in order to reduce operations costs and time
• Design infrastructures for
• detector modules deployment,
• detector modules (junction boxes, instrumented
  parts) handling
• connection/disconnection, and eventually
  maintenance, of deep sea structure
• visual inspection of deep sea floor and of
  detector parts.
• Design/optimize stationary docking stations for
  an Hybrid System made by AUV and ROV

WP5 Kick-off meeting outcome

• Start close organization between collaborating
  Institutes
• Set-up coordination
• Confirm agreement on proposed program of work and
  on objectives
• Define a short term (3 months) agenda
• existing deep-sea data assessment, definition of
  common analysis method, identification of needed
  measurements
• definition of long-term measurements for final
  characterization
• The work on other tasks need some imput from WP2,
  WP3, WP4, WP7, the activity will start in few
  months.

Risks connected to WP5 ?

• Site characteristics study activity (spoiled by
  the site selection duty) can be successful for
  all quantities that have been already extensively
  measured and that do not need a long term,
  multi-year and multi-seasonal measurements
• Detector deployment/handling tools design are
  design dependent but should not create problems
• Deep Sea Infrastructure design, as well as power
  distribution, cables and connectors selection,
  will be based on commercial technology or, at
  most, on developments that do not need an out of
  the market technological effort
• What we promised as deliverables in ANNEX1 can be
  reached
• Present technologies are already sufficient for
  our needs but expensive, our work will be mainly
  devoted to simplify all deep-sea operation, to
  maximize the operative time, to reduce the
  operation costs

21
Docking system for AUV-ROV
A 3500m depth ROV design and construction is
already funded (project PEGASO funded with 5.6
Meuro by the Regione Siciliana) and under
realization by INFN and INGV (P.I.).
How many docking stations ? Where to place them ?
Which kind of connectors ? Which are AUV/ROV
critical parts ? How to improve their reliability
? How to control them ?
