9311151 Chryssostomidis The Underwater Vehicles Laboratory of the M.I.T. Sea Grant College Program will purchase oceanographic sensors and sensor support equipment to enable the use of existing Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) as tools for oceanographic research. Six missions have been chosen to direct this effort, including: 1) The investigation of plate tectonics and spreading centers through geomagnetic measurements off the coast of Antarctica. 2) The development of geophysical navigation methods, 3) The creation of a rapid-response AUV to investigate transient ocean events, 4) The use of AUV development as a method of enhancing engineering education, 5) The development of methodologies for applying AUVs to study of shallow-water environments, and 6) The study of the mechanics of Arctic ice. The high operating cost of research vessels constrains oceanic research. AUVs increasing the search rate of the ocean floor, greatly increasing the efficiency of the time spent at sea.

9311151水下航行器实验室（Underwater Vehicles Laboratory）海洋赠款学院计划将购买海洋传感器和传感器支持设备，使现有的自主水下航行器（AUV）作为海洋研究的工具。 已经选择了六项任务来指导这项工作，包括：1）通过南极洲海岸的地磁测量来调查板块构造和扩张中心。2)开发地球物理导航方法，3）创建一个快速响应的AUV调查瞬态海洋事件，4）使用AUV开发作为加强工程教育的一种方法，5）开发应用AUV研究浅水环境的方法，以及6）研究北极冰的力学。 研究船的高运营成本限制了海洋研究。 AUV提高了海底的搜索速度，大大提高了在海上度过的时间的效率。
