Workshop on Near-Land Shallow and Deep Ocean Research and Development in the Context of SFOMC, Boca Raton, Florida, March 1999

9903866邓文迪30多年来，海军一直在南佛罗里达的南佛罗里达试验设施（SFTF）。 位于沿着美国海岸最靠近墨西哥湾流的位置，该网站是独特的，因为它可以接近浅水和深水，非常接近陆地。 最近，佛罗里达大西洋大学在SFTF水下范围的南端获得了一个海岸侧工程实验室。 随着海洋传感器，声学和海洋车辆的重点，该部门有一个自然的协同作用与NSWC-CD设施。 由于这些因素、它们的利益的自然一致性以及来自迈阿密大学、南佛罗里达大学海洋科学系、迈阿密的NOAA-AOML和港口分支的强烈感兴趣的各方的参与，1997年初形成了一个财团。 该联合体包括人员、设备、运营支持和设施的贡献。 特别是，这些设施包括SFTF水下试验场以及NSU，FAU和NSRDC-CD的陆地校园资源。 这种合作伙伴关系所创造的潜力导致通过ONR提供特别资金，以支持对SFTF海上靶场仪器的具体增强，并支持一系列旨在利用该地区特征的示范科学和技术开发计划。 从本质上讲，这是一个项目，以检查SFOMC概念的有效性，以及该范围如何被感兴趣的学术界使用。该项目旨在通过研讨会来讨论这种合作奋进的好处，挑战，推力和潜在结果，以加强这一独特的努力。 讲习班的重点将是SFOMC适合解决的技术和科学问题，以及SFOMC应最好地组织和运作以充分发挥其潜力的方式。 此外，讲习班的目的是酌情归纳讲习班的结论，以便吸取对可能的类似努力有价值的经验教训。 讲习班的结果将是一份广泛分发的报告，该报告将以与会者在讲习班期间得出的结论为基础。

9903866DunnFor over 30 years the Navy has operated the South Florida Test Facility (SFTF) in south Florida. Located at the closest position to the Gulf Stream along the US coast, the site is unique in its access to both shallow and deep water very near to a land. More recently, Florida Atlantic University gained a shore side engineering laboratory at the south end of the SFTF underwater range. With an emphasis on ocean sensors, acoustics and marine vehicles, the department has a natural synergy with NSWC-CD facility. These factors, the natural congruency of their interests, and the inclusion of strongly interested parties from the University of Miami (UM-RASMAS), the University of South Florida's Department of Marine Science, NOAA-AOML in Miami, and Harbor Branch brought a consortium together in early 1997. Included in this consortium are contributions of staff, equipment, operating support, and facilities. In particular, the facilities include the SFTF underwater test range as well as the land campus resources of NSU, FAU, and NSRDC-CD. The potential that this partnership created resulted in special funding being provided through ONR to support specific enhancements to the SFTF off-shore range instrumentation and to support a series of demonstration scientific and technology development programs designed to take advantage of the features of the area. In essence this was a program to examine the efficacy of the SFOMC concept and how this range can be used by the interested academic community.The program herein seeks to strengthen this unique effort through a workshop to discuss the benefits, challenges, thrusts, and potential results of this collaborative endeavor. The focus of the workshop will be on the technological and scientific issues that SFOMC is suited to address as well as the manner in which SFOMC should best be organized and operated in order to realize its full potential. In addition, it will be the purpose of the workshop to generalize the findings of the workshop where appropriate so as to derive lessons that can have value for potential similar efforts. The result of the workshop will e a widely distributed report based on findings generated during the workshop by the participants.
