Conception and design of a Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for the deployment of the Bluefin-21 AUV in shallow lakes
The need to explore the depths of the ocean is increasing with the growing demand
for raw materials such as oil and gas. Autonomous underwater vehicles have been
developed for this purpose. Oil, gas and pipeline companies are placing increasing
demands on these vehicles as they provide a cost-effective solution for bathymetric
surveys. Testing is required to drive the development forward. In addition to laboratory
tests, open water tests must also be carried out. For this purpose, the AWI
uses the nearby Stoteler See. The AWI AUV owns a trailer equipped with a launch
and recovery system. Due to the continuous development of the AUV, it has become
too long and heavy for the trailer. This work deals with the redesign of the launch
and recovery system. Creativity techniques are used to generate ideas within the
conception phase. The design deals with the elaboration of a retractable conveyor
belt that transports the AUV into the lake
