ABSTRACT:
An easily deployable data relay buoy, in some embodiments, has a diesel powered alternator and storage battery, providing long service life. The data relay buoy has mechanical characteristics that allow it to maintain antenna stability in the presence of seas states from at least zero through four and to survive in sea states up to sea state six.
