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: Wave Glider testing off San Diego CA Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: James Kresge, JHU/APL Project Institution: JHU/APL
Project ID: 105980 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 12/1/2017 7:24:00 AM Created By: James Kresge
Date Last Modified: 12/1/2017 7:24:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NAVY - PP394 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Delivery, assembly and checkout of 4-6 Wave Gliders with acoustic packages. Loading onto support ship for deployment off 1SD. Two weeks independent in water testing followed by recovery of Wave Gliders, disassembly packing and transportation back to Laurel
Summary of Facility Requirements: No facility requirements, see other requirements
Summary of other requirements and comments: Space for two 20 foot CONEX boxes with access at both ends, 240 VAC power if available but not a requirement. Lifting capability (crane or fork lift) to remove / lift CONEX boxes from / onto semi truck. Work space (area only) in vicinity of CONEX boxes. Charter of MV Sproul for one day each for deployment and retrieval of Wave Gliders in vicinity of 1SD
