| Title | Development of miniature Bluetooth Anchor tracking systems |
| Description | Development of miniature Bluetooth Anchor tracking systems that fit inside scaled model anchors and allow easy none contact location and attitude tracking whilst in centrifuge flight. Allows continuous tracking of anchor system underground and underwater. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Presented at conference in Delft Autumn 2024 and interest from several other international research organizations. Technology transferred to University of Western Australia for assessment of capability and potential to incorporate in their modelling systems. |

| Results and Impact | SUT (Society for Underwater Technology) return of the very popular Gadgets and Widgets evening meeting. This meeting featured short-fire presentations on latest technology developments. The presentation session were be followed by a buffet and networking session where the audience and presenters interacted, and observed practical demonstrations of working equipment and software. This sparked questions and discussion and interest in the physical modelling technology developed and the wider CBRA focus of the project. |
