Built and shipped as a single modularized system, ETD DART deployments can be accomplished off
relatively small platforms with a small crew with minimal training and on-board equipment. The bottom of
the system’s shipping frame is positioned so that approximately one to two inches of the shipping frame
overhangs the deck. Once the ETD is disconnected from its shipping frame, the top of the frame is then
lifted approximately 1 meter off the deck until gravity causes the ETD to slide into the water and self
deploy. The anchor and mooring reel sink at approximately 100 meters per minute.
