Energy-Efficient Underwater Video Transmission in Horizontal, Shallow-Water Environments
FY 2024-25 · 2025-01-14
Summary
In this project, we wish to prove that we can achieve 30 Kilobits/s at 750 m of horizontal shallow-water range at an underwater power consumption of 8 Watts or less with up to 4 hydrophone elements. When presented to the offshore inspection market, this new technology will eliminate the requirement for ship-borne inspection. Thus, the size of crew and time spent on boats will be significantly reduced, saving large amounts of money.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous souhaitons prouver que nous pouvons atteindre 30 kilobits/s à 750 m de portée horizontale en eau peu profonde avec une consommation électrique sous-marine de 8 watts ou moins avec jusqu’à 4 éléments d’hydrophone. Lorsqu’elle sera présentée au marché de l’inspection au large, cette nouvelle technologie éliminera la nécessité d’une inspection à bord des navires. Ainsi, la taille de l’équipage et le temps passé sur les bateaux seront considérablement réduits, ce qui permettra de réaliser d’importantes économies.
