Unmanned Moving Vessel Profiler with Integrated Launch and Recovery
FY 2020-21 · 2020-04-13
Summary
Remotely operated, semi-autonomous vessels have become an important tool within hydrographic survey fleets by allowing the seafloor to be mapped up to 10 X faster. The efficiency gains by using unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are impressive. However, USVs are still relying on their mothership to perform regular sound velocity profiles. The goal of this project is to redesign an existing sound velocity profiling winch to operate on USVs and further unlocking their potential in order to transition the Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) to an important hydrographic survey platform with growing market.

Remotely operated, semi-autonomous vessels have become an important tool within hydrographic survey fleets by allowing the seafloor to be mapped up to 10 X faster. The efficiency gains by using unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are impressive. However, USVs are still relying on their mothership to perform regular sound velocity profiles.

Description (French)
Les navires semi-autonomes télécommandés sont devenus un outil important au sein des flottes de levés hydrographiques en permettant de cartographier les fonds marins jusqu'à 10 fois plus rapidement. Les gains d'efficacité obtenus grâce à l'utilisation de navires de surface sans équipage sont impressionnants. Cependant, les navires de surface sans équipage dépendent toujours de leur navire-mère pour effectuer des profils de vitesse du son réguliers. L'objectif de ce projet est de reconcevoir un treuil de profilage de la vitesse du son existant pour l'utiliser sur les navires de surface sans équipage et d'exploiter davantage leur potentiel afin de transformer le profileur du navire en mouvement (PNM) en une importante plate-forme de levés hydrographiques dont le marché est en pleine expansion.
