Phase II of DARPA's Deep Sea Operations Programme29/02/2012 |
| Bluefin Robotics, USA, has been awarded a Phase II subcontract from Applied Physical Sciences Corp. (APS) for the Deep Sea Operations (DSOP) Technology and System Development Programme sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Bluefin Robotics will assist in developing systems of configurable technology to address Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) surveillance needs over large, operationally relevant areas. |
|
The system(s) will operate with sensors or sources near the ocean bottom, exploit the advantages of distributed nodes, configure to a range of operations, environments and time scales, and adapt to the mobility of surface assets or evolving threats. Additionally, the programme will provide the ability to achieve long-range detection and classification, the means to communicate underwater over long distances, and the ability to manage energy to endure in the extreme operating conditions of the deep ocean.
The APS DSOP Team consists of Applied Physical Sciences, Bluefin Robotics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, H. Schmidt Consulting, Scientific Systems Compan and General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems.

Demo of RIEGL Airborne Bathy Scanner in Camcopter UAV |
It's not an AUV but an UAV. So an unmanned vehicle, but in the air instead of underwater. This movie shows a demonstration of the bathymetric laser scanning capabilities of the RIEGL VQ-820-GU hydrographic airborne sensor in reality. For more information on the technical side, please see the news release on Hydro International.
