Sampling and Survey with AUVs in Adverse Weather Conditions
Abstract
The general objective is to investigate the basic and applied problems associated with the efficacious reconnaissance of littoral waters in support of mine warfare and oceanographic tasks. Specifically with this proposal, we wish to quantify the shallow-water performance of the sensor systems and platforms in relation to harsh environmental conditions and high sea states. In particular for platforms we wish to address the performance issues with respect to navigation, communication, control and conditional mission planning during which the underwater acoustic propagation properties are severely affected by the bubble formation and mixing properties induced by storm fronts. We wish to address design and implementation problems associated with our current docking design and performance in stormy conditions.
