A long-range acoustic navigation system with built-in acoustic communications capability has been developed for use by underwater gliders, drifters and vehicles under Arctic ice where surfacing to acquire GPS position may be risky or impossible. The system consists of multiple buoys placed on the ice with transducers suspended 100 m below, each of which is programmed to transmit in a specific time...
Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) operators rely on underwater acoustic telemetry for monitoring and control during mission sorties. This requires operators to maintain acoustic communications by remaining nearby, or deploying a moored gateway buoy and remaining within radio frequency (RF) communications range. An autonomous mobile communications and navigations gateway system has been developed...
The recently developed wave glider has the potential to be an effective unmanned platform for acoustic applications. We present the results of a variety of experiments that quantify this potential. The radiated self‐noise of the autonomous platform is evaluated using an integrated passive acoustic recorder during a set of field trials off the coast of Hawaii. We present the radiated noise spectra...
A prototype system for connecting remote instruments to a cabled observatory is described. The system consists of base-station modems and a data acquisition system attached to the MBARI MARS observatory in 900 m water off Monterey, California, plus remote modems used for link testing. The objective of the system is to provide a drop-in capability to connect sensors on the sea-floor or on sub-sea moorings...
