Remotely Operated Vehicle of 6000-meters is a new conceptual equipment made to replace the manned systems for investigating the deep-sea environment, and all of the ROV systems in operational condition strongly depend on the connecting cables. In this point of view dynamics of the ROV cable system is very important for operational and safety aspects as a cable generally encounters great tension. Researches have been executed on this problem, and most of papers have been mainly focused on the operational condition of ROV system in deep sea. This paper presents the dynamic cable response analysis during ROV launching condition rather than the operational one in order to provide the design guide of a ROV cable system in this circumstance, considering the coupling effects between cable and wave-induced ship motion. To obtain the variations of cable tensions during a ROV launching, a pre-stressed harmonic response analysis was carried out. Wave-induced tensions of the cable during ROV launching were obtained in real sea states using FE modeling, and the basic design guide of a ROV cable system was obtained.

해저 광테이블 공사는 해양조사, PLGR(Pre Lay Grapnel Run), 천해부공사, 포설/매설 순서로 이루어진다. PLGR은 케이블의 해저면 안착을 용이하게 하고, Plough 및 ROV(Remotely-Operated Vehicle)매설작업의 성능을 향상시키며, 매설 장비를 보호하기 위한 작업이다. 본 논문은 해저 광테이블 건설 작업 중에서 PLGR 작업을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 실시간 모니터링 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대해서 논한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위하여 전체적인 실시간 모니터링 시스템을 설계하고, 시리얼 멀티포트 통신 모듈, 실시간 처리 모듈, 환경 설정 모듈, 그리고 그래프 및 프린터 출력 모듈을 설계 및 구현하였다. 끝으로 본 논문의 타당성 검토를 위하여 시리얼 멀티포트 통신, 실시간 데이터 추출, 그래프 출력을 실험하였다.

An ROV trencher is a type of heavy-duty work class ROV equipped with high-pressure water jet tools for cutting into the sea floor and burying cables. This kind of trencher is mostly used for PLIB operations. This paper introduces the development of this kind of ROV trencher, which has a 698 kW power system, with a 250 kW hydraulic system and two 224 kW water jet systems. The project was launched in January 2014. After four years of design, manufacturing, and system integration, we carried out two sea trials near the Yeongilman port (about 20-30 m in depth) in Pohang to evaluate the system performance in November 2017 and August 2018. Through tests, we found that most of specifications were satisfied, including a maximum bury depth of 3 m, maximum bury speed of 2 km/h, and maximum forward speed of 1.54 m/s.

국제-국내간의 해저 광케이블을 설치할 때, 해양조사는 사전 정확한 해저지질 및 수심상태를 파악한다. 그리고 안전한 경로를 선정 및 해저 광케이블 매설을 위해서 용이한 위치론 확보하는 작업이다. 또한, PLGR는 광케이블 루트상의 해저 면의 해양 오염 물질(로프, 와이어, 그물)을 사전에 제거하여 광케이블의 해저면 안착을 용이하게 한다. 더불어서 Plough 및 ROV 매설 작업 시 매설작업 성능 향상 및 매설장비의 보호시킬 수 있는 작업이다. 따라서 된 논문은 해저 광케이블 건설 사업에서 해양조사, PLGR 작업을 위해서 선박의 정보를 관리하기 위한 모니터링 시스템에 대해서 논한다. 이를 위해서 GPS, gyrocompass, tension meter 데이터 취득을 위한 시리얼 멀티포트 통신 모듈을 구성, 수신 데이터의 관리 및 운용을 위한 실시간 처리, 그래프 및 인쇄 출력 모듈을 설계 및 구현하였다.

We developed a heavy-duty work class ROV trencher named URI-T (Underwater robot it's trencher) that can conduct burial and maintenance tasks for underwater cables and small diameter pipelines. It requires various supporting systems, including a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, launch and recovery system (LARS), A-frame, and winch in order to perform burial tasks because of its dimensions (6.5 m × 5.0 m × 4.5 m, 20 t) and the tough working environment. However, operating a DP vessel has disadvantages as it is expensive to rent and operate and it is difficult to adjust the working schedule for some domestic coast construction cases. In this paper, we propose a method using a barge instead of a DP vessel to avoid the above disadvantages. Although burying the cable and pipeline using a barge has lower working efficiency than a DP vessel, it can save construction expenses and does not require a large crew. The proposed method was applied over two months at the construction of the water supply in Yokji-do, and the results were verified.

In this paper, we present the development of P-SURO II hybrid AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) which can be operated in both of AUV and ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) modes. In its AUV mode, the vehicle is supposed to carry out some of underwater missions which are difficult to be achieved in ROV mode due to the tether cable. To accomplish its missions such as inspection and maintenance of complex underwater structures in AUV mode, the vehicle is required to have high level of autonomy including environmental recognition, obstacle avoidance, autonomous navigation, and so on. In addition to its systematic development issues, some of algorithmic issues are also discussed in this paper. Various experimental studies are also presented to demonstrate these developed autonomy algorithms.

HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) is an underwater cable between Jeju Island and Haenam in main land and supplies approximately $50\%$ of electrical usage in Jeju Island. If there is any power failure due to HVDC, it will cost approximately 50,000 US dollars per day including Thermal Electrical Generation. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to recover the problem in rapid timely basis. Present survey method in Korea is done by scuba diver with air cylinder resulting very poor visual inspection. Other option is by only visual camera attached on miniature ROV for solely suey Purpose. This method does not includeburial depth of cable, cable position, cable condition & etc??‥‥.??? In result, current method does not generate any scientific or sophisticated data which does not allow any intelligent management decision. In conclusion, new method and new systems are needed urgently to upgrade current HVDC underwater cable survey technique in Korea to minimize the cost and time factors.
