32 st / October 2017 www.sea-technology.com EdgeTech Sonar Utilized in USS Indianapolis Discovery The EdgeTech 2205 AUV-based side scan sonar system played a key role in the recent discovery of the USS India- napolis wreckage 5,500 m deep in the Philippine Sea. The EdgeTech system is configured as a dual-frequency 75-/230- kHz side scan sonar and bathymetry, providing the ability to image more than 1,000 m from each side of the AUV. It is one of many advanced underwater technology systems on board the RV Petrel, owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen and Vulcan. OceanGate Completes Construction of Submersible Pressure Vessel to Explore Titanic Shipwreck OceanGate has completed construction and assembly of the titanium and carbon-fiber-wound pressure vessel of Cy- clops 2, the newest addition to its fleet of deep-sea manned submersibles, in preparation for the first human exploration of the Titanic shipwreck since 2005. Cyclops 2 is the only privately owned submersible in the world that can take five people to depths of 4,000 m. The pressure vessel is comprised of two titanium hemispheres, two matching titanium rings, and a 56-in.-diameter, 100-in.- long carbon-fiber-wound cylinder—the largest such device ever built for use in a manned submersible.
