 Equipment and system used in deep sea have to resist the high pressure(100～1000 atm ) and contain power sources. Data transfer may be carried out using acoustic signals. The Deep Sea Technology Department, our department's predecessor, was founded in 1987 to respond to these specialized needs. After the development of Deep Sea Research Submersibles such as "SHINKAI 6500" and related technology, the high technology cultivated in deep sea was applied to all areas of oceanographic research. In 1998, the department was given its current name - the Marine Technology Department. As the new title suggests, the research scope of the Marine Technology Department has expanded to cover all marine environments. We are currently conducting research and development in areas such as the Deepwater Riser Drillship, the Autonomous-navigation Unmanned Vehicle, Ocean Observation Buoys, and Wave Energy Device. |
