Description:
The objective of this cruise was to establish the first order functionality of the LIGHTHOUSE
system in terms of mechanics, ROV operations, electrical components and data link. This is a
highly integrated suite of optical and acoustic sensors to create a real time 360° scan of an
underwater environment, in order to enhance the situational awareness of pilots and mission
specialists. The tests were to be conducted in the clear, deep waters of the Norwegian
Sognefjord. Due to severe technical malfunctions that became only apparent during mobilization
in the port of Kiel, the vessel stayed moored to the east shore and west shore quays in Kiel
Harbor, except for an excursion off Boknis Eck in the Eckernförde Bight. Despite these
restrictions in locality, the majority of the work programme was carried out with great success.
