Exploring more cost-effective and accessible ocean exploration

By

NOAA Ocean Exploration and Fugro cooperate to develop and use uncrewed systems for ocean exploration to enhance the efficiency, reach and impact of NOAA’s mission to explore the deep ocean. By focusing on uncrewed systems, such as uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), autonomous undersea vehicles and electric remotely operated vehicles, the partnership will make ocean exploration more cost-effective and accessible to scientists nationwide.

Evaluation of Weather Data Profiles with Meteodrone UAS by GrandSKY and Synoptic Data PBC

By

Deploy advanced weather drones to gather upper air observations up to an altitude of 16,900 feet. NOAA will evaluate and determine if the data collected could benefit forecasters at the National Weather Service as well as the effectiveness of deploying drones in the weather observation role.

Ocean Technology Development Tank Usage

By

Use NOAA’s SWFSC Ocean Technology Development Tank to test capabilities of SubSeaSail’s Advanced Sea-Going Underwater Autonomous Research Device, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The goal is to develop a submerging capable vessel and sensor package that can monitor underwater soundscapes and electromagnetic fields generated by offshore energy installations from both above and below water.
