The Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences released news on June 8 that the “Haidou No. 1” full-sea deep autonomous remote control submersible (hereinafter referred to as “Haidou No. 1”) developed by the institute succeeded in the Mariana Trench Completed its first 10,000-meter sea trial and experimental application tasks, made a number of major breakthroughs, and filled the gap of China's 10,000-meter operating unmanned submersibles.
During the voyage, "Haidou No. 1" achieved 4 10,000-meter dives in the Mariana Trench, with a maximum dive depth of 10,907 meters, setting a record for the maximum dive depth of my country's submersibles. In terms of high-precision depth detection, manipulator operation, working time near the sea floor, acoustic detection and positioning, acoustic communication distance and high-definition video transmission, it has created many firsts in the field of submersibles in my country.
The successful development of "Haidou No. 1" is a milestone in the field of China's marine technology and equipment, providing a brand-new technical means for China's abyssal scientific research, and also marking that China's unmanned submersible technology has entered a sea that can cover the entire sea. A new stage of deep exploration and operation. (Reporter Yu Ruizhai)
