•Overview and Deployment

March 2018 rapidCAST User’s Guide

Page 2EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.

The rapidCAST delivers a probe to a user-specified target depth while the vessel is underway, and re-

trieves the probe automatically. Using an entirely new active tension management system, payout behav-

ior is precisely controlled to ensure the probe depth is known at all times - even without a conducting ca-

ble! Data transfer is achieved using an automated Bluetooth connection.

rapidCAST provides:

•A Tension Control System that allows the probe to fall freely under the influence of gravity

even when the probe is tethered to the winch.

•Line tension is measured in real-time, and the rotation speed of the spool is quickly modulated

to minimize tugging on the probe.

•If tension rises above the setpoint, the spool speeds up, and if tension falls below the setpoint,

the spool slows down until equilibrium is restored.

•The Tension Control System prevents the ship from dragging the probe, and ensures that the

probe falls freely despite surface disturbances such as waves, swells, heaving, pitching, and roll-

ing.
