An addressable ROV/AUV mounted modular water sampling array based around a standard 2.5L Niskin Bottle.
• Each bottle can be fitted with a turbidity sensor or other water quality sensor.
• Ethernet comms & data
• 5 bottles per module, each bottle can be individually identified and triggered
• Self-contained modules can be connected and stacked together to build up a network
• Identical slot geometry in module frames allows for easy stacking/positioning on the ROV
• 6000m rated
• Reliable bottle release system
• Bottles armed and fired by solenoid actuator
