Body Recovery
ADS ( Atmospheric
Diving
Systems)
The Hardsuit is the
world’s most advanced Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS). Manufactured by
Oceanworks, Inc, the Hardsuit is the product of improvements to
existing ADS technology and an innovative breakthrough in rotary joint
development that permits low friction movement under extreme pressures.
This technology enables trained operators to work in water depths to
1,000 feet (305 meters) while remaining at a single atmosphere or
surface pressure environment. Underwater Atmospheric Systems, Inc.
(UAS), uses the Hardsuit In many applications, the Hardsuit would be an
effective and economical diving tool for:
- Underwater inspection
and non-destructive testing.
- Repairs of underwater
structures normally requiring saturation diving techniques.
- Marine salvage.
- All marine operations
that require deep diving and/or long bottom times.
- Rescue capacity for
submersible operations.
- Recently, a thruster
pack was developed which permits mid-water operations such as platform
inspections, pipeline surveys, and scientific research.
Remote Operated Vehicles
Note: The Max Rover is on the East coast but available with
prior notice,
Atmospheric Systems, Inc. has access to two Remote Operated
Vehicles (ROVs). These include the Deep Sea Systems MAX Rover and the
Deep Ocean Engineering Phantom DHD2.
UAS has access to a MAX
Rover ROV from Deep Sea Systems. The MAX Rover ROV from Deep Sea
Systems is a larger ROV than the Phantom in both size and payload. The
ROV is equipped with extensive video capabilities and manipulator arms.

UAS also operates a Deep Ocean
Engineering Phantom
DHD2 ROV with an NTSC video camera, dual lights, custom aluminum
crash frame and torque balanced thrusters. It also has a radar system,
altimeter and compass. Additionally the ROV has two mounted manipulator
arms... a two and a custom five function arm. |
SONAR AND ELECTRONICS
We use the Klein 595 Dual frequency (100 - 500 kHz) with a
soft cable on a hydraulic winch with 1500 feet of umbilical. The sonar
system is integrated into a Teac DAT recorder for data storage and post
production purposes. Additionally the Sonar is interfaced with
Differential GPS navigational system.
