BOSS’ testbed ocean bottom seismic robotic vehicle is an early-stage prototype vehicle and associated communication, command & control system that uses the mechanical components of a host platform.
It was developed to allow for in-water testing of BOSS electronics and software, providing a platform for electronic and software progress while hardware components are being designed and manufactured.
