...German and American oceanographers are planning to deploy the world's three unmanned "Abyss" type deep sea search submarines to track down the remains of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Der Spiegel magazine said scientists at the Helmholtz Oceanography Institute in the German port city of Kiel had arranged with their counterparts at the Massachusetts-based Woods Hole Institute to deploy the three submarines which can dive to depths of 6,000 metres and stay submerged for up to 24 hours...
...Germany's Helmholtz Institute owns one of the 12-foot long "Abyss" submarines which is normally used for oceanographic research. America's Woods Hole Institute owns the other two.
In the spring of 2011, the three submarines were used successfully to track down the wreckage of the lost Air France flight 447 Airbus aircraft ...
Sign of the times - no British kit.
Guess we'll become aware of a different acronym soon - AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle.)

Let it not be forgotten :-
Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile (BEA; translated as "Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety") Said, re :- Air France flight 447
...Conclusion
The discovery of the wreckage concludes months of searches undertaken
in very difficult conditions. It should be noted that, in order to avoid such difficult searches in the future, more frequent position reporting by airplanes is required (flight AF447 transmitted its position only every 10 minutes) This was the subject of a recommendation made by the BEA in its Interim Report on 17 December 2009...
Hence the recent comment by the Inmarsat spokesperson that the industry have been dragging their feet over something (frequent positional/operational data stream) which would cost $1 per hour wholesale, using current. fitted equipment.
Here comes Chicago-based Ribbeck Law acting for families related to the Malaysian airlines 777 debacle - main target must be Boeing? endless dollars, USA based litigation - the bewigged better not find fault with the old 777 design...
