Persistent Ocean Surveillance (POS)
Abstract
The Persistent Ocean Surveillance (POS) program combined geolocation techniques, such as global positioning systems, with station keeping and intra-sensor communication technologies to provide long-term ocean environment sensing buoys. A range of technologies were considered, including those that rely on the local environment (i.e., wind, ocean waves, solar energy, temperature differentials) for their power; miniature geolocation technologies; and technologies for sensor data storage, transmission, and intra-field communications. The Renewable At-Sea Power program focused on efficient energy capture from the environment in order to achieve capability for fully renewable power at sea. Technology from this program has been made available for transition to the Navy.
