There is growing global importance of ocean exploration and monitoring as the oceans play a major role in climate regulation, nutrient production, resource retrieval and transportation, etc. Building and deploying a real-time underwater networked sensing infrastructure is thus needed for desired levels of monitoring and data collection. Despite a wave of research efforts in the area of underwater wireless networks, the lack of a community testbed has so far hampered further advances, as there is no common platform to evaluate and compare various communication and networking algorithms and protocols. Furthermore very few studies can afford to consider real system features due to the high cost of system deployment and maintenance.This project involves the design and deployment of an open underwater testbed suite, accessible to the public at four sites in Connecticut, California, Texas, and Washington States. The testbed will include flexible choices of surface nodes, bottom nodes, and mobile nodes with reconfigurable modems. It will enable the vision of remote controlled and continuous networked node deployments running tests of communication, networking, sensing, and data streaming. In addition, the testbed will enable oceanographers to study scientific research questions, while using the testbed as a prototype for larger real-time monitoring deployments elsewhere. The testbed will also directly impact undergraduate research and student diversity by involving undergraduate students through REU programs, impacting curriculum development by enabling field courses, and engaging K-12 students and teachers, particularly in underserved communities.

因此，对于所需的监测和数据收集水平，需要海洋勘探和监测的全球重要性，因为海洋在气候调节，营养生产，资源检索和运输等中起着重要作用。建造和部署实时的水下水下网络感应基础设施。尽管在水下无线网络领域进行了大量的研究工作，但由于没有共同的平台来评估和比较各种沟通和网络算法和协议，因此缺乏社区测试的进一步阻碍了进一步的进步。此外，由于系统部署和维护的高昂成本，很少有研究能够考虑真正的系统功能。该项目涉及在康涅狄格州，加利福尼亚州，德克萨斯州和华盛顿州的四个地点的公众访问开放的水下测试室套件的设计和部署。测试台将包括具有可重构调制解调器的表面节点，底部节点和移动节点的灵活选择。它将实现遥控和连续网络节点部署的愿景，运行通信，网络，传感和数据流的测试。此外，测试台将使海洋学家能够研究科学研究问题，同时将测试床用作其他地方大型实时监控部署的原型。测试床还将通过REU计划参与本科生，通过启用实地课程来影响课程开发，并吸引K-12学生和老师，尤其是在服务不足的社区中，从而影响课程开发，从而影响了本科研究和学生多样性。
