Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for re-establishing at least one link to a vehicle are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed method involves transmitting, by a control station, a deployment control signal to a deployment device located underwater. The method further involves receiving, by the deployment device, the deployment control signal. Also, the method involves deploying, by the deployment device, the buoy device from a first position to a second position located above the first position upon receipt of the deployment control signal by the deployment device. In addition, the method involves transmitting and/or receiving, by the control station, at least one first linking signal to the buoy device. Further, the method involves transmitting and/or receiving, by the buoy device, at least one second linking signal to the vehicle to re-establish the at least one link.
