The long-term goals of this project are to create and demonstrate a reactive ocean survey system, capable of long-term unattended deployments in remote environments. We refer to such a system as an Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN). The work described below is the product of a collaboration of research groups at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of Washington, and Northeastern University. The objective of this project is to create and demonstrate the next-generation robotic oceanographic survey system. This is being accomplished by: (1) Creating small, high performance mobile platforms capable of several month deployments. Both propeller-driven, fast survey vehicles, and buoyancy-driven glider vehicles have been developed. (2) Creating an infrastructure that supports controlling, recovering data from, and managing the energy of, remotely deployed mobile platforms. Elements include moorings, docking stations, acoustic communications, two-way satellite communications, and the Internet. (3) Demonstrate these capabilities in science-driven field experiments. (4) Develop operational techniques that make most effective use of these new assets, including adaptive sampling strategies.
