An improved deep-water multibeam echosounder for R/V Sally Ride (AGOR 28)

Abstract

We propose to upgrade and improve the sensing capability aboard the ONR Ocean Class research vessel Sally Ride (AGOR 28) during the" ship s upcoming regulatory shipyard by installing scientific instrumentation that ONR-supported researchers need to meet their current and future research goals. Specifically, we seek to upgrade the ship~s deep-water multibeam echosounder (Kongsberg EM122) to the latest model version (EM124). A deep-water multibeam echosounders is a primary instrument for many ONR-supported users of global and ocean class research vessels, and a secondary instrument for most others. As such it is a vital tool. The EM124 offers several maj"or improvements
