Autonomous Oceanographic Sampling Network Development

Abstract

This proposal describes a program of work designed to contribute to the Navy's capabilities in mastering the mine warfare problem by developing and demonstrating fundamental capabilities needed for an Autonomous Oceanographic Sampling Network (AOSN). This includes the integration of AUV, ship, and moored sensors into a network test range. This range will support the development, testing, and demonstration of network components and communication capabilities. A link between the network and the Internet will enable remote monitoring and interaction. This test range will include acoustic and RF modem links. A set of network communication links will be implemented and demonstrated in turn culminating a multi-node network. This network will provide integrated information about the state of environmental variables pertinent to mine reconnaissance tasks and also facilitate adaptive search, survey, and sampling
