DY152 was the highly anticipated expedition to complete final deep-sea tests of our newest ocean robots, sensors and control software.

A culmination of several years of shore-based trials, this 20-day expedition saw deployment of several autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) out into Haig Fras, a Marine Protected Area of Celtic Sea lying about 95 km northwest of the Isles of Scilly, and the deep waters of the Whittard Canyon complex 300km to the south west.
