APEX – Deep Concept Guidance to TWR engineers
Design and build a profiling float capable of reaching 6,000 meters
Must be economically feasible – no titanium hull
Must have buoyancy reserve for additional sensors – CTD and ?
Use next generation controller – APF-11
Goal of at least 150 profiles using lithium batteries
Launch/Recovery with no special handling equipment
