DEEP's #OccupyMare is about Persistent Human Presence Subsea
Kernagis' team currently conducts advanced research for a number of organizations, including the United States Department of Defense and NASA. Following two years of research into advanced manufacturing processes and materials science, including the design of the largest WAAM 3D manufacturing capability in Europe, DEEP has received design approval in principle from DNV. "The Sentinel system is not theoretical, nor is it just renderings marketed to help raise capital or generate interest - we are already well into advanced engineering and approval. Manufacturing has already begun,"
