Fabrication of Ten Utility Acoustic Modems, Version 2.0

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to build and test ten Utility Acoustic Modems and place them in the Modem Pool at WHOI so that they would be available to oceanographic researchers. Software supporting the ONR sponsored interoperability standard for acoustic communication was to be installed on the modems and augmented with higher rate and specialized communications functions as they are proven in the field. It was decided by the participants and approved by ONR to redirect the funds for the Utility Modems to a build of 16 of the newer and less complex Acoustic Micro-Modems. As a result of this decision, a total of 16 Micro-modems have been built and delivered to the Modem Pool. These units have been employed on a number of experiments and have operated very reliably.
