Proposal #: OCE0120490PI: Barrie WaldenThis award will support a design study for a 6000+ Meter human occupied submersible for the National Deep Submergence Facility (DSF) operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and dedicated to support ocean science research. The Ship Acquisition and Upgrade Program provides funds for ship constructions, upgrades, acquisitions, and design studies. This project will allow the PI to begin a conceptual design study for a deep submergence vehicle that may eventually replace the aging deep submergence vehicle (DSV) Alvin. A submersible capable of operating to depths greater than 6000 meters would provide US scientists access to an additional 35% of the ocean floor to carryout studies pertaining to biodiversity, biomass, and processes at work on the abyssal plain and in deep sea trenches. The study will include a detailed evaluation of new technology and hardware options. Other countries, such as France, Japan, and Russia, already have manned submersibles capable of operating to this depth.The Project Director, Barrie Walden is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in supervising the DSV Alvin, and other submersibles through his management of the DSF. ***

提案编号：OCE0120490PI： 巴里瓦尔登该奖项将支持一个6000米以上的载人潜水器的设计研究，由伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营的国家深潜设施（DSF）致力于支持海洋科学研究。 船舶购置和升级计划为船舶建造、升级、购置和设计研究提供资金。该项目将使PI开始深潜器的概念设计研究，最终可能取代老化的深潜器（DSV）阿尔文。 能够在6000米以上深度作业的潜水器将为美国科学家提供额外35%的海底，以开展有关生物多样性，生物量和深海平原和深海海沟工作过程的研究。 这项研究将包括对新技术和硬件选择的详细评价。 其他国家，如法国、日本和俄罗斯，已经拥有能够在该深度运行的载人潜水器。项目总监巴里瓦尔登完全有资格指导该项目，他在管理DSF期间，在监督DSV Alvin和其他潜水器方面拥有丰富的经验。***
