SR-100

The SMART Release is a unique concept from Benthos that combines the proven technology of an underwater acoustic release with the reliable undersea communications functionality of an acoustic modem.  When deployed, the unit can be connected to an underwater sensor such as a Conductivity Temperature and Depth recorder (CTD), acoustic Doppler profiler, or other devices. The SMART Release unit can then acoustically transfer data from the device to which it is connected up to the surface or to another sub sea unit and later be retrieved.  This new device will allow oceanographic, military and other users the ability to monitor and retrieve data from their sub sea instruments and release the entire package of instruments successfully to the ocean’s surface at a later date.
