SGER: Demonstration of a Solar Powered, Long Endurance, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Sampling System

自主水下系统研究所（AUSI）将对太阳能自主水下航行器（SAUV）进行科学可行性研究，该研究一直在与俄罗斯科学院海洋技术问题研究所合作开发。在ONR的资助下，该车辆将进行一系列工程测试，以验证其执行长时间采样任务的能力。美国国家科学基金会资助的测试将与夏威夷海洋时间序列计划（HOT）一起进行，并涉及在SAUV上集成科学仪器。CTD、O2传感器、荧光计和辐射计将被添加到SAUV系统中。结果数据将与船舶和浮标测量结果进行比较，以便相互校准和加强解释。如果成功，SAUV将为海洋科学界提供一种工具，可以在距离海面800米的范围内连续收集实时数据，至少持续30天，而不需要支持船只。

The Autonomous Undersea Systems Institute (AUSI) will conduct a scientific feasibility study on a Solar Powered Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (SAUV) that it has been developing in conjunction with the Institute for Marine Technology Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Under ONR funding, the vehicle will undergo a series of engineering tests to validate its ability to conduct long endurance sampling tasks. The NSF-funded tests will be conducted in conjunction with Hawaii Ocean Time-series program (HOT), and involves the integration of scientific instruments on the SAUV. A CTD, O2 sensor, fluorometer, and radiometer will be added to the SAUV system. Resulting data will be compared with ship and buoy-based measurements for inter-calibration and to enhance interpretation. If successful, the SAUV will provide the oceanographic science community, with a tool for collecting real time data, on a near continual basis, within 800 meters of the ocean surface, for a minimum of 30 days, without the need for a support vessel.
