Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该合同将为加州大学圣地亚哥分校运营的“Melville”号、“Revelle”号、“New Horizon”号和“Sproul”号科考船提供船上科学支持设备，专门用于支持海洋研究。船上科学支持设备计划为船舶设备提供资金，这些设备被认为是正确和安全进行海洋科学研究所必需的。该计划为甲板设备（包括用于部署和检索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）提供支持，以确定研究地点的位置。通信设备，包括话音和科学数据通信用无线电收发机和卫星收发机，以及其他设备，如运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目总监Robert Knox在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验，完全有资格指导该项目。该项目将允许该机构购买救生筏，远程雷达中继器（通过团购），船上广播系统，潜水服（通过团购）以及发动机监控和警报系统升级。＊＊＊

Prop #: 0422612 PI: Robert KnoxThis award will supply shipboard scientific support equipment for the Research Vessels Melville, Revelle, New Horizon, and Sproul operated by the University of California, San Diego 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, Robert Knox 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 acquire life rafts, a remote radar repeater (through group purchase), a shipboard announcing system, immersion suits (through group purchase), and an engine monitoring and alarm system upgrade. ***
