An Assessment of Wave Observations From An Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

Abstract

A collaborative effort is proposed between the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC, Carderock Division, to be funded directly from ONR) and the Coastal Observing Research and Development Center (CORDC) for testing, and validation of directional wave spectrum observations using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) integrated onto a submerged moving platform. Thisstudy will examine trade-offs between, depth of operation, speed of operation, and range of ocean wavelengths/frequencies that can be sampled, and impact of system noise on the resolved measurement. CORDC will leverage one of their UUVs for initial research, development, test and evaluation efforts.
