Abstract :
The present paper deals with new approaches concerning pressure tolerant submerged technology. Different designs of pressure tolerant systems, which are characterized by the absence of pressure hulls, are discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of this novel technology are demonstrated. The overall pressure tolerant test platform DNS Pegel is introduced along with the main vehicle components and subsystems that highlight the pressure tolerant design. The vehicle includes an adjustable payload section. The current work discusses the sophistication of pressure tolerant systems. The goal is autonomous test dive cruises with the vehicle in the Atlantic Ocean.
