  1. Acoustic Seaglider Results from Summer 2006 Bruce M. Howe Applied Physics Laboratory University of Washington ONR CODE 32 NW REGIONAL PROGRESS REVIEW Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington 27 February – 1 March 2007 Seattle, WA

  2. Goals and Outline • Develop and demonstrate the acoustic Seaglider in the persistent surveillance context: • As a communications gateway between subsurface platforms and land • To act as a general purpose acoustic receiver/tactical sensor for all signals and “noise”, with near-real time reporting of processed results • To provide oceanographic data • Review results from 3 field experiments • Discuss next steps

  3. Acoustic Seaglider • ½ knot at ½ W • Up to 1000 m dives • > 6 months, 3000 km, 600 dives • Temperature, salinity and others • Now with hydrophone and acoustic modem Fumin Zhang

Acoustic Seaglider Operations – Summer 2006 Monterey Bay Kauai Philippine Sea Philippine Sea – SG022, 7/29/06-7/30/06, 1 day, 15 dives, low ARS band,CTD Monterey Bay – SG022, 8/15/06-8/21/06, 6 days, 61 dives, low ARS band,CTD SG023, 8/18/06-8/23/06, 5 days, 83 dives, low ARS band, CTD SG106, 8/12/06-8/18/06, 6 days, 131 dives, high + low ARS bands,CTD,mmodem Kauai - SG023, 8/31/06-10/8/06, 39 days, 143 dives, low ARS band, CTD

  5. Monterey Bay 06:Positions where SG106 read mmodem FSK packets • Black circles: SG106 at surface after dive - no acomms received • Blue circles: dives where acomms commands logged • 106 sent FSK command to turn off the ARL-UT array • Most FSK came from ARL-UT or Gateway • Black +: dives after recording acomms logs ceased • 4-5 km ranges are evident ARL-UT bottom node 1 km Gateway Latitude Kelp Array First FSK packet at 2006.08.15:0857 (UTC) from unit ARL-UT to Gateway, Dive 22.

  14. ASG – Summer 2006 Summary • Demonstrated gateway capability – connecting subsurface platforms to shore via acoustic modem/satellite Iridium • Demonstrated acoustic receiver – man-made signals, whales, noise… with near-real time processed results • Potential – general ocean acoustics tool, tactical sensors, navigation/time node, data truck, marine mammal observing, tomography receiver, basin-scale thermometry, climate change, …

  15. Next steps • Fall 07 – PLUSNet07 off La Jolla • Spring/summer – mini PLUSNet in Puget Sound + scouting mission off La Jolla • PLUS - Continuing development and field work • Communications: Modem integration and HFGW • Nexgen glider (payload, buoyancy, processing, …), • Tactical sensors – add directivity and gain • Mission management • Optimization: High currents, power, multiple gliders • Navigation and timing • Overall situational awareness • Integrating acoustics + nav into data assimilation – mobile acoustic tomography receiver
