Who won: Acoustic Release systems

About this contract

Northumbria University has procured 4 Acoustic Release systems for the Drivers of Oceanic Change in the Amundsen Sea (DeCAdeS) project to support advanced research into ice shelf evolution. This specialized oceanographic equipment is critical for the secure underwater deployment, long-duration mooring, and autonomous recovery of scientific instrumentation in extreme environments. The systems ensure high-reliability data retrieval by allowing researchers to remotely trigger the safe release and surfacing of the instrumentation upon completion of the monitoring cycle. The supplier was selected as their proposal offered the best combination of technical compliance, reliability, and integration compatibility with existing project infrastructure, while meeting the precise scientific specifications required for this research framework.
