Research abstract
Makai proposes a 24-month development and system integration effort with the goal of demonstrating the extensibility of an undersea distributed network by using the Auto-Docking ABV (AD-ABV) to autonomously install, bury and connect an electro-optical cable to a shallow water node. At the completion of the at-sea demonstration, the auto-cabling and connection capability of the AD-ABV will be at a TRL 7.
