Renewed Search for MH370 Targets Key Areas in Indian Ocean
Ocean Infinity deploys advanced underwater drones in a final bid to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, 11 years after its disappearance.
- Ocean Infinity has resumed its search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, focusing on a 5,800 square-mile area in the Indian Ocean identified through new data analysis.
- The search will target four key 'hotspots' where the plane's wreckage, including its fuselage, is believed to have possibly settled.
- Sophisticated autonomous underwater vehicles, capable of diving nearly four miles and operating for up to four days, are being used in this effort.
- The company is operating under a 'no find, no fee' contract with the Malaysian government, with a $70 million reward contingent on locating the wreckage.
- The renewed search incorporates data from satellite signals and disrupted radio transmissions, including analysis of 130 signal disturbances detected on the night the plane vanished.
