Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

$733,289.00

Autonomous Marine Environmental Monitoring System (AMEMS)

FY 2022-23 · 2022-08-01

Summary
The project is to create an environmental monitoring system to meet the requirements of the offshore construction industry. This will combine a small, deployable, autonomous platform and potentially a fixed mooring, suitable for high flow environments once the project is finished and becomes operational. The mobile system will be deployable from unmanned surface vehicles and capable of moving from one site to another quickly and autonomously. In addition, the system will offer the fusion of acoustic data from the underwater sensors with visual data from cameras on a surface expression. This allows the system to be deployed in highly mobile marine construction projects such a pile driving in support of wind farm development.

Description (French)
Le projet consiste à créer un système de surveillance environnementale pour répondre aux exigences de l'industrie de la construction en mer. Ce système combinera une petite plateforme autonome déployable et potentiellement un amarrage fixe, adapté aux environnements à haut débit une fois le projet terminé et opérationnel. Le système mobile pourra être déployé à partir de véhicules de surface sans équipage et sera capable de se déplacer rapidement et de manière autonome d'un site à l'autre. De plus, il permettra la fusion des données acoustiques des capteurs sous-marins avec les données visuelles des caméras sur une expression de surface. Le système pourra ainsi être déployé dans des projets de construction marine très mobiles, comme le battage de pieux à l'appui du développement de parcs éoliens.
