391:. It is used to create maps of the seafloor and to identify targets of interest that ROVs Hercules and Argus investigate in more detail. Diana is a side-scan sonar tow-fish that uses dual 300 and 600 kHz frequencies, with a range of approximately 200 meters on either side of the towfish. The Diana system is capable of being towed to a depth of 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) but is limited by cable length to 600 meters (2,000 ft). Diana's transducers can also be installed on the Argus towsled, which greatly increases the maximum towing depth to 2,000 meters.

Argus is a deep-tow system capable of diving as deep as 6,000 meters (20,000 ft). Argus is typically used in tandem with
Hercules, where it hovers several meters above the seafloor and provides a view of Hercules on the seafloor, but can also be used as a standalone tow sled. The frame carries a

Echo is a five-channel deep tow, side scan sonar system rated to 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) water depth. Echo's operating frequencies are 100 and 400 kHz, which cover a total swath width up to 1,000 meters (3,300 ft). Echo is also equipped with a 2–7 kHz sub-bottom profiler that

All audio components of the telepresence network use a centralized intercom system for managing shipboard and ship-to-shore communications. This network provides communication between users working in the control van, the ship's officers on the
324:(ROV) system. Hercules is rated to a depth of 4,000 meters (13,000 ft), and is always deployed with Argus. It is equipped with cameras, lights, instruments, manipulators, and a wide array of sampling tools. The primary camera is a
