Our specialty is the development of equipment and systems to operate in harsh marine environments. BOT has been involved with the design and development of marine and oceanographic equipment for over 15 years and has a track record as a company that can solve problems with simple, yet innovative designs.
BOT also has extensive experience with installing hardware on ships and testing at sea.
The system can be transported by air, sea and ground. The LARS is capable of operation in up to Sea State 5 and can deliver a carousel equipped with five ELSS transfer pods to depths down to 2,000 feet. The system has been integrated on to the base of a 20 ft ISO container for storage and transport. Also included in this project was the development of a highly stable underwater towbody. This system consists of a large knuckle boom crane, capture mechanism, constant tension winch, tilting deck cradle, towing boom, and line attachment methods which permit a tow line and lifting cable to be attached to the vehicle without a person in the water.
