Electrical engineer Lars Triebe inspects the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Abyss in preparation for service at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany. The Abyss, one of three unmanned deep sea search submarines in the world, may join the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The submarine is designed to perform hydrographic reconnaissance in all parts of the ocean in depths up to 3.7 miles and can stay submerged for up to 22 hours. |
