Abstract:

The primary goal is to develop, demonstrate, and implement techniques for cost-effectively obtaining non-directional and directional ocean surface wave spectra from small AUVs particularly those that are being developed under Office of Naval Research ONR sponsorship. The main objectives of this Phase I Small Business Innovation Research SBIR project were 1 design and specify components of a wave measurement system that can be installed on existing and future small AUVs, and 2 demonstrate feasibility of the overall system, including computer software, by realistic tests and simulations. The objective of an uncompleted Phase I option is to collect and analyze limited preliminary field data. Main objectives of the Phase II effort FY00-FY01 are to completely design, build, and test prototype systems. Systems would then be used to collect wave data supporting military exercises and scientific investigations such as coastal processes studies.
