The present disclosure is directed to delivering nodes to an ocean bottom. A system can include a tether management system (TMS) towed by a vessel that moves on the surface of the ocean in a first direction. An underwater vehicle (UV) can be connected to the TMS and can move in a second direction that is different from the first direction. A thruster can be coupled to the TMS can cause the TMS tomove in a third direction that is different from the first direction. A control unit can control the thruster to move the TMS in the third direction based on a cross-line location policy, and cause the UV to deploy nodes to target locations on the ocean bottom.
本公开涉及将节点递送到海底。系统可以包括由在第一方向上在海面上移动的船舶牵引的系绳管理系统(TMS)。水下运载工具(UV)可以连接到TMS,并且可以在不同于第一方向的第二方向上移动。推进器可以耦接到TMS,可以使TMS在不同于第一方向的第三方向上移动。控制单元可以基于跨线位置策略控制推进器在第三方向上移动TMS,并使UV将节点部署到海底的目标位置。
