Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment, R/V CAPT HATTERAS

该项目将为CAPE HATTERAS研究船提供船上科学支持设备，CAPE HATTERAS是一艘由杜克大学海洋实验室运营的nsf拥有的研究船，致力于支持海洋科学研究。船上科学支持设备计划为船舶设备提供资金，这些设备被认为是正确和安全进行海洋科学研究所必需的。该计划为甲板设备（包括用于部署和检索科学仪器的绞车系统）、导航设备（如雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星接收器）提供支持，以确定研究地点的位置。通信设备，包括话音和科学数据通信用无线电收发机和卫星收发机，以及其他设备，如运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目总监Quentin M. Lewis在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验，完全有资格指导该项目。该项目将使该机构能够获得主甲板起重机的状况报告，并获得INMARSAT M和C电信单元，并替换失效的GPS单元。＊＊＊

9321735 LEWIS This project will supply shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel CAPE HATTERAS, an NSF-owned research vessel, operated by the Duke University Marine Laboratory, and dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. This Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Director, Quentin M. Lewis is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will allow the institution to obtain a condition report on the main deck crane, and to acquire an INMARSAT M and C telecommunications unit and replace an inoperative GPS unit. ***
