Release Specifications

PMEL currently deploys EdgeTech acoustic releases on each of its moorings. The acoustic release is used in mooring recoveries to detach the mooring from the anchor. The release can communicate with and receive messages from a shipboard deckset. This allows an operator on a ship to determine positions and to send commands necessary for recovering a mooring. PMEL has based their mooring system on these releases because of their ease of maintenance and reliability for long term deployments.
