The University of Tokyo and Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co. collaborated to develop an unmanned, untethered submersible equipped with an air-independent power system of a closed-cycle diesel engine (CCDE) for one-day surveys. Termed the 'R-One Project', the objective was to realize a new platform for oceanographic and environmental observation in the sea. A CCDE system was first subjected to autonomous dive session in shallow water in July 1996 off Tamano City of Okayama Prefecture, full-scale tests of four-hour duration and continuous autonomous dive for about 20 kilometers were successfully conducted in Pacific Ocean off Tanabe City in Wakayama Prefecture on Aug. 21, 1996. In the same area of sea, a 12-hour operation was also completed successfully in June 1998.
