Develogic - Model MSL.3000/6000 -Modular Seafloor Lander
The develogic compact seafloor lander is available with several standard sensor packages. Additional customer specific sensors are possible. The high level of system integration allows us to provide our customers with unprecedented functionality at very economic prices. The lander can easily be deployed and recovered due to the compactness and lightweight design.
In addition, the develogic seafloor lander can be quickly redeployed due to low maintenance and effort. Data transmission and immediate verification of deployment success becomes possible with the included acoustic data telemetry.
Data accessibility is ensured in case of lander drifting on the surface. Our basic lander version includes acoustic data telemetry, an acoustic release, satellite GPS recovery beacon with LED strobe, a composite system housing with a large refillable battery container (133 cells standard) and an 8 channel data logger (analog and digital). Non magnetic ballast is available to allow for sensors that rely on compass data.
develogic standard sensor packages are:
- CTD (AADI™)
- Single point current sensor (AADI™)
- Seismic (Seismic.Vault, develogic), 3 channel gimballed geophone + hydrophone
- Acoustic (Sono.Vault, develogic), long term acoustic recording system (up to 24 months)
- Precision pressure (Paroscientific™)
All standard packages can be combined.

The develogic MSL.3000/6000 lander has various deployment possibilities, depending on the equipment and sensors integrated into the lander.
The deployement includes environmental monitoring such as CTD and seismic, but the MSL.3000/6000 can also be used in the gas and oil industry, for example for leak detection.
