Underwater autonomous vehicle. so theyre going to continue to search for vehicles until theyre absolutely certain that the battery has run out. only then will they deploy the vehicle to go underneath the water and try and find the wreckage. and get some sort of confirmation that this is in fact from missing flight mh-370. but certainly encouraging signs out of perth this morning, errol. >> now, as you were speaking there, erin, we saw one of the maps which basically breaks down what the jacc ann...

Batteries will eventually fail on the underwater beacon locaters. so we want to reduce the subsequent area we would need to go search with the bluefin-21. >> right, and we have talked about some of the silt at the oceans surface there at the bottom of the ocean and a front moving in which could bring some rain. do you know how much time would be left before assets in the area would have to be pulled back or moved? >> no, we certainly watch the weather as it comes. but really the timing factor, w...

Re-acquire the signals on two more occasions. late yesterday afternoon, and late last night perth time. the detection yesterday afternoon was held for approximately five minutes and 32 seconds. the detection late last night was held for approximately seven minutes. ocean shield has now detected four transmissions in the same broad area. wyy@ angus houston there. and also new analysis of the first two signals indicate they did come from an electronic device, and are consistent with the ping of a...

Think the "ocean shield" needs to refine the location. you already have four detections and you say you need more detections to refine the location and second, do you have more information regarding the detection we received about the chinese ship and do you think it is a reliable one? >> in terms of "ocean shield," the more detections we get, the better. the other thing that comes in to it is the quality of the transmission and the detection. what we are after is the best return that we can get...

Encouraging news. angus hughson is the man responsible for coordinating this search effort. he gave a press conference earlier today. hear how he characterized these new detections. >> i can now tell you that "ocean shield" has been able to reacquire the signals on two more occasions. like yesterday afternoon and late last night. the detection yesterday afternoon was held for approximately five minutes and 32 seconds. the detection late last night was held for approximately seven minutes. >> hou...

>> well, theyre saying this is a very encouraging new lead rosemary. theyre now confident that they are, in fact, looking in the correct location. angus houston, the man spearheading this multinational search effort saying these two new detection, the signals are noticeably weaker, were noticeably weaker than the prior detections made on saturday. he said thats most likely because the battery life on the black box pinger has expired or has reached its expiry date where its set to expire in some ...

Accommodate the families if they decide to fly here. he used the words, when they come, not if they come. he said when they come. more optimism than we have ever seen so far in this search on day 33. >> they have detected the four sounds. the two they detected on saturday they determined they werent naturally occurring sounds. this he did come from a black box. many are wondering, why not just send the submarine down right now to look? why dont they? >> reporter: there are a lot of people who ar...

>> we could be talking a matter of days, which is what he said. and you know if they get a few more returns there as the ocean seal goes over. and they develop a little more of a cluster of those dots, that could get them right on it. and then when that autonomous underwater vehicle gets there wouldnt that be amazing if we had a visual sight. i just wanted to throw one more thing in the mix as we try to assess this map. the one thing that is not on the map that is not considered there or is not ...

Detection locater, but it is the best means to do the locater beacon with the live batteries. >> do you believe they are live -- do you actually know if they are, or just kind of hoping that they are at this point? >> well, those batteries are rated for a 30-day life. and you know, that is the minimum theyre designed for. so today is day 33. i fully expect that there is a strong probability that theyre still active. but you know, there are certainly variables at play here. if you look at the air...

I can now tell you that ocean shield has been able to reacquire the signals on two more occasions. like yesterday afternoon, and late last night perth time. the detection yesterday afternoon was held for approximately five minutes and 32 seconds. the detection late last night was held for approximately seven minutes. ocean shield has now detected four transmissions in the same broad area. yesterdays signals will assist in better defining a reduced and much more manageable search area on the ocea...
