AOSN MURI: Utility Acoustic Modem and Robust Communications
نویسنده
چکیده
To create and demonstrate a reactive survey system, capable of long-term unattended deployments in harsh environments. We refer to such a system as an Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN). The goal of the Utility Acoustic Modem effort is to develop a low-power hardware platform and a robust signaling strategy for data communications between components such as robotic vehicles, moorings, or ocean-bottom assets, in an AOSN.
