ABSTRACT:
An underwater testing platform assembly includes first and second rails for disposition in part in a body of water, each of the rails having facility for connection to a surface vessel. The rails are disposed vertically, parallel to each other. A cage comprising a network of struts is mounted on the rails. A skid is mounted on, and is movable in, the cage, and can receive and retain an apparatus to be tested. First and second travelers are fixed to the cage and are movably mounted, respectively, on the rails, such that the cage is vertically movable on the rails. Instrumentation is mounted on the cage. A transmission line is connected at a first end to the instrumentation and extends to the surface vessel. A receiver on the surface vessel has a second end of the transmission line connected thereto and receives data signals from the instrumentation.
