AOSN MURI: Communication Software for the Utility Acoustic Modem

Abstract

The long-term goal is to create and demonstrate a reactive survey system, capable of long-term unattended deployments in harsh environments. We refer to such a system as an Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN). An integral part of this effort is the development, design, and implementation of both hardware and software for a Utility Acoustic Modem (UAM), which permits 2-way communications between survey vehicles and researchers. The effort described in this report pertains to UAM software development.
