flagship project | assembly of an 'integrated life system'
Beginning in 2005, Ocean Opportunity set out to assemble an 'integrated life system' as a best of breed assemblage of both custom and COTS components, with the specific intent of advancing scientific exploration. A functional prototype was completed in 2007, and work is currently underway to refine system subassemblies. This work provides the catalyst for all OO projects related to undersea technology.
