A sensor (11, 12) in the sensor field (2) comprises a permanently installed base unit (11) and a removable control unit (12). The AUV (10) moves control units (12) to the service station (13) for charging and updating, and then back to the base units. The permanent positions of the base units (11) facilitate time-lapse surveys, and saves energy as heavy equipment may remain on the seafloor.
