Ship Request

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Outpost System Test - testing of unmanned surface vehicle - Wave glider and integrated technology Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Robert Ashton, ProteQ Project Institution: ProteQ
Project ID: 105814 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 7/11/2017 1:34:00 PM Created By: Robert Ashton
Date Last Modified: 7/11/2017 1:34:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NAVY/ONR - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: This work will consist of deploying and retrieval of an unmanned surface vehicle - wave glider and integrated technology. Also conducting acoustic source operations when system is deployed.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Will require deck crane for launch and recovery, deck space to stage system and 110 vac to power acoustic sources. Small lab area to stage acoustic systems. anticipate 8 personnel in science party

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Will work with ship scheduler to optimize transit days with will be <8 hours as just need minimum water depth of 200 meters and clear of ship transit lanes.
