The Advanced Tethered Vehicle (ATV) is a remotely operated submersible work system design to carry out Navy missions at ocean depths down to 20,000 feet. It consists of a submersible vehicle, tether capable, handling system, control station, and auxiliary equipment. The vehicle is neutrally buoyant and carries two force feedback manipulators and interchangeable tools. Integrated system testing was complete in June 1990 with a successful dive to 20,600 ft in the Molokai Fracture Zone near the Hawaiian Islands. This paper presents the Advanced Tethered Vehicle (ATV) design considerations, system description, and test results.
