15. Landers
Custom built platforms for the delivery of scientific instruments to the seafloor

16. Landers
Can also be used to tow and place arrays on the seafloor

17. Current Landers
Designed for ECOGIG to replace the older, larger landers.
The new landers have a much smaller footprint and do not require a ROV to be recovered.
