IMOS - AUV SIRIUS, CAMPAIGN: South East Queensland, NOVEMBER 2011

在昆士兰东南部（2011年11月）的工作目标是重新审视莫尔顿岛近海绿色区域内外的潜水点。在小型船只上工作时出现了一些问题，在操作的最后一天，由于船只没有足够的燃料，当车辆在潜水完成后没有浮出水面时，AUV丢失了部分原因。在接下来的三天里，海岸警卫队的船只和空中搜索进行了广泛的搜索，但没有找到AUV。两周后，这辆车在最后一次被发现的地点以北约100公里处被冲上岸。它受到的损害相对较小，但这一事件突出表明，该设施很容易失去它的一项资产。ARC LIEF提案已经提交，以支持开发多个小型AUV，以帮助维护AUV设施观测计划

The objectives of the work in SE Queensland (Nov. 2011) was to revisit dive sites inside and outside of a green zone offshore of Moreton Island. There were a few issues associated with working on a small vessel and on the final day of operations the AUV was lost in part due to the vessel not having sufficient fuel to stay on station when the vehicle did not surface on the completion of its dive. An extensive search was conducted over the following three days using Coast Guard vessels and aerial search but the AUV was not located. Two weeks later the vehicle washed ashore some 100km to the North of the site where it was last seen. It had sustained relatively little damage but this incident highlights the vulnerability of the Facility to the loss of its one asset. An ARC LIEF proposal has been submitted to support the development of multiple, smaller AUVs to help maintain the AUV Facility observing program
