NICOP - Glider with Acoustic Payloads for Seabed Characterization (GLAPSC)

Abstract

Glider with Acoustic Payloads for Seabed Characterization (GLAPSC)a. NATO ~ STO ~ CMRE is proposing the GLAPSC (Glider with acoustic payload for seabed characterization) project, whose intention is to bring an acoustical payload equipped Slocumglider to SCE2017. The acoustical payloads include one omni-directional hydrophone and an eight-channel three dimensional cross array (3DCA). The main objective of GLAPSC project is to develop sensing capabilities of unmanned platforms for seabed characterization.b. Underwater gliders have been recognized as affordable and sustainable platforms for assisting underwater counter A2/AD (anti-access/area denial) activities, such as underwater environmental monitoring and battlespace preparation, for the reasons that they are relatively cost-effective, heterogeneity in payloads, and have very low power consumption hence longer endurance, as well as larger area coverage.c. Code 32d. Report
