Summary of Field Work: |
To conduct this work, we will deploy several REMUS AUVs (two REMUS 100 AUVs and a REMUS 600 AUV) equipped with a variety of sensors over areas of known and suspected aircraft wrecks near La Jolla, CA. We will conduct baseline surveys using several AUV-mounted instruments: a total-field magnetometer, several sidescan sonars, a multibeam sonar, and an optical camera. We will then test a variety of real-time autonomy behaviors designed to provide automatic target identification and reacquisition. To support vehicle navigation, we will deploy a field of acoustic transponders, which will be recovered at the end of the exercise. This work will take place over three days, and vehicles and transponders will be deployed and recovered during daylight hours only. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
REMUS 100 vehicles will be deployed and recovered with either the knuckle crane or small boat, depending on conditions. The REMUS 600 requires the knuckle crane for launch and recovery. Transponders will be deployed and recovered from the small boat. It is possible that the small boat will be deployed several times per day. We require dry laboratory space large enough to service the small REMUS 100 AUVs as necessary, and sufficient deck space for staging and a 20ft lab van. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Sproul is sufficient for this operation, and the area is near its home port. The time on station allows adequate time to deploy transponders, conduct several surveys, and recover all gear. Ideally, we would transit to and from the op-area at night, thus maximizing daylight on station. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
Science party will consist of chief scientist and two experienced sea-going engineers. The STS tech will be required to operate the small boat and assist with other shipboard systems (e.g. cranes) as necessary. This team is sufficient to deploy, recover, and operate all of the gear. Depending on their schedules, Dr. Jeff Gee and Dr. Eric Terrill may also join this cruise, but their participation is not required. |
