gas explorations. However, nodes in existing OBN systems are usually placed or recovered
individually using a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV). Thus, there is inefficiency as to the
deployment and recovery of seismic survey. This paper proposes an Ocean Bottom Flying
Node (OBFN) design that combines OBN and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
techniques. It can cruise to the designated deep-water location and remain static at the …
