Use & integration
Recorded applications
On-demand trap-fishing gear recovery
Participating-system gear-location records
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Commercially offered configured workflow with published manuals. CCFI and OceanWatch independent trials show condition-specific successes and recovery problems. Deck capacity, battery threshold and floats differ across dated supplier revisions; numeric TRL and universal acceptance are not inferred.
Commercial availability
Discuss supplied hardware/software revision, cage/float/rope packing, flow/depth/acoustic conditions, release contingencies, fishery authorization and data interfaces. ATLAS+Tablet is marked beta; acceptance remains configuration-specific.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
The described underwater measurement, inspection or support function can contribute to undersea characterization; this derived fit does not establish defence adoption.
The described integration, analysis or operator-support function may support monitoring workflows; autonomous deployment and customer acceptance require separate evidence.
This is a reviewed public-source assessment. It is not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, or classified demand.

The July2023 supplier sheet states MOBI300m depth,1.5km acoustic range,25kHz omnidirectional transducer with15m cable, lithium battery/four months standard usage and 24.94kg MOBI with cage excluding runners and rope. These are stated configurations, not independently validated universal limits.
March2022–April2023 project tested configurations across50–300m. February10 2023 GrandBank235–318m series achieved first-ping releases. A separate354m trial acknowledged acoustically but the lid did not surface and required manual recovery. These are configuration-specific observations, not blanket300m acceptance.
Ashored's rope-on-command system stores a buoy line with fishing gear and uses an acoustic release to bring it to the surface for retrieval. MOBI release hardware, a containment cage/lid, deck equipment and ATLAS gear-location software form a system. Reducing persistent vertical rope is its design purpose; use in a closed fishing area still depends on specific authorization.

ROC R4.0/HUB-R4 manual states maximum28 MOBIs(p23),5% critical-release threshold(p19),about8h charge(p12) and two8inch buoys(p13). Do not silently harmonize these with the July2023 specification sheet.
DFO strategy addresses pilot areas, operational effectiveness and fishery-specific implementation; closed-area access requires applicable conditions. Contextual demand and supplier marketing do not grant authorization or establish an Ashored procurement award.
ATLAS manages account-linked gear, deployment coordinates and event history. Its May 2023 guide says other users see deployed gear within a 2,000-metre radius to reduce gear overlap. This is a documented data-sharing rule in that revision, not a guarantee of interoperability with every navigation system or current release functionality.
