SeaSoar Towed Vehicle for UTM in Spain
Chelsea Technologies Group has recently sold a SeaSoar Towed Undulating System to the UTM CSIC in Spain. UTM required a towed vehicle with capability of undulating down to depths of 500 metres.

The SeaSoar was fitted with a Seabird Electronics SBE 911 CTD, with dual C and T sensors fitted each side of the SeaSoar. Future planned expansion includes the integration of a Brooke Ocean Technologies LOPCâŚ
