DURIP: Autonomy Based Turbulence Glider Systems for Use in ONR Programs
Abstract
We propose acquisition of two autonomous sampling systems for use in upcoming ONRCode 32 programs. This request includes two new Deep Glider AUV platforms outfitted with aRockland Scientific Microrider nose enclosures that will add turbulence sensing capabilities. Wealso propose funds for acquiring the processor hardware to enable mission autonomy for all forthe combined glider/Microrider systems. These instrument systems will significantly add to ourmeasurement capability, and readiness to join several upcoming ONR programs, including thosein the western Pacific and the Bay of Bengal.Here, we describe the instrumentation systems we are seeking support for. We presentdescriptions of these systems, and present data confirming their viability for use in measuringturbulence in the ocean.
