R/V Alpha Helix Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该奖项将为阿拉斯加大学运营的科考船Alpha Helix提供船上科学支持设备，专门用于支持海洋研究。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为下列项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回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，用于确定研究地点的位置；通信设备，包括无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，用于语音和科学数据通信；以及其他设备，如用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目总监汤姆·史密斯完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将允许该机构直接购买灭火系统和舷外马达，并通过团购获得沉浸服(LDEO)和电视视频系统(SIO)。***

Prop #: 0313893 PI: Tom SmithThis award will supply shipboard scientific support equipment for the Research Vessel Alpha Helix operated by the University of Alaska and dedicated to use in support of marine research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. The 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, Tom Smith 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 directly acquire a fire suppression system and outboard motors, and through group purchases will acquire immersion suits (LDEO) and TV video system (SIO). ***
