Monterey Accelerated Research System

P.I. McNutt, Marcia （MBARI）提案#:0222650提案标题：MARS：大功率，高带宽，区域电缆观测台的试验台项目摘要pi建议完成设计，然后在蒙特利湾安装一个先进的电缆观测台，该观测台将作为未来电缆海洋观测台的工程试验台。蒙特雷加速研究系统（MARS）电缆观测站将提供远程、连续、长期、高功率、大带宽的基础设施，用于多学科、原位勘探、观测和深海实验，使用尖端的电力和通信技术。MARS将位于蒙特利湾水族馆研究所（MBARI）近海的蒙特利湾，并将在62公里的海底电缆上包括一个科学节点，并具有未来扩展更多节点的能力。建议科学节点提供4个科学端口，每个端口提供一个100mbit / s的双向遥测信道。该节点将有能力向4个端口提供总计10kw的功率。“扩展”电缆可以插入任何科学港，使用最具成本效益的部署车辆，从几种选择中提供电力和通信，距离原始节点100公里，包括MBARI的rov，机会船或UNOLS I， II， III或IV级船队船只。MARS将利用过去几十年来为高可靠性潜艇电信和军事系统开发的工具、技术和产品，以确保该系统能够以最小的生命周期成本运行30年以上。

P.I. McNutt, Marcia (MBARI) Proposal #: 0222650Proposal Title: MARS: Test Bed for a High-Power, High-Bandwidth, Regional Cabled ObservatoryProject Summary The PIs propose to complete the design and then install an advanced cabled observatory in Monterey Bay that will serve as the engineering testbed for a future cabled ocean observatory. The Monterey Accelerated Research System (MARS) cabled observatory would provide remote, continuous, long-term, high-power, large-bandwidth infrastructure for multidisciplinary, in situ exploration, observation, and experimentation in the deep sea using cutting edge power and communication technologies. MARS will be located in Monterey Bay offshore the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and will include one science node on 62 km of submarine cable with expansion capability for more nodes in the future. It is proposed that the science node will provide 4 science ports, and each port will have a 100-Mbit-per- second, bi-directional telemetry channel. The node will have the ability to deliver a total of 10 kW of power to the 4 ports. "Extension" cables can be plugged into any science port to provide power and communications up to 100 km away from the original node using the most cost effective deployment vehicle from several options including MBARI's ROVs, ships of opportunity, or UNOLS class I, II, III or IV fleet vessels. MARS will make use of the tools, techniques, and products developed over the last several decades for high reliability submarine telecommunication and military systems to ensure that this system can operate over a 30-year lifetime with minimal life-cycle costs.
