Packaging Improvements

The radical redesign has allowed for much improved packaging within the Lifeline itself.

These images illustrate the difference:


The top image was the first design. It was entirely limited by the need to pack in as much line as possible. IT relied on miniaturised technology, super capacitors and custom built motors to function. It was not a good design.

The Mk2 version at the bottom is far superior. There is ample room for the torpedo, enough line to create a 50M radar cross section, as well as space to fit a conventionally sized PLB plus batteries for the LED signal light.

The design is far simpler and does not rely on integrating and optimising components to the very cutting edge of materials technology to function.
