The National Oceanography Centre is at the forefront of the development of marine autonomous systems (MAS). These include deep-diving robotic submarines, gliders and surface vehicles that can take sensors to measure large areas in remote parts of the ocean. As the capability of marine and aerial autonomous systems increases more potential applications are becoming apparent, including the possibility to improve monitoring of industrial activities at sea. There is particular interest in how autonomous systems can be used to improve the quality and efficiency of routine monitoring of the environment and infrastructure relating to the oil and gas industry. There are also questions about how these systems can be used to monitor, and help in the response to oil spills. This project aims to investigate how autonomous surveillance systems (aerial and marine) can fit into emergency oil spill response and routine monitoring of the environment and infrastructure in the oil and gas industry.A researcher from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) will work as an intern at Oil Spill Response Limited, an industry funded cooperative that responds to oil spills globally. The intern will carry out a wide ranging review of the scope of autonomous systems used commercially and in research to identify systems and sensors that may be applied in response to oil spills or routine monitoring. The work will then consider the design of surveys using multiple platforms such as autonomous marine and aerial vehicles to identify the requirements from deployment to data management. This will draw on lessons learned from NOC's experience with MAS. The conclusions from these studies will be used to investigate how autonomous systems could be incorporated into routine operations in an industrial setting which will them be presented to and discussed with members of the oil and gas industry and research community.

国家海洋学中心处于发展海洋自治系统(MAS)的前沿。其中包括深潜机器人潜艇、滑翔机和水面车辆，这些车辆可以携带传感器来测量海洋偏远地区的大片区域。随着海洋和空中自主系统能力的提高，更多的潜在应用正在变得明显，包括改善对海上工业活动的监测的可能性。人们特别感兴趣的是，如何利用自主系统来提高与石油和天然气工业有关的环境和基础设施例行监测的质量和效率。还有一些问题是，如何使用这些系统来监控和帮助应对漏油事件。该项目旨在调查自主监测系统(空中和海上)如何适应石油和天然气行业的紧急漏油反应和对环境和基础设施的常规监测。来自国家海洋学中心(NOC)的一名研究人员将作为实习生在石油溢出反应有限公司工作，该公司是一家由行业资助的合作社，负责应对全球石油泄漏。这位实习生将对商业和研究中使用的自主系统的范围进行广泛的审查，以确定可能应用于应对漏油或常规监测的系统和传感器。然后，这项工作将考虑利用自动海上和空中交通工具等多种平台进行调查的设计，以确定从部署到数据管理的要求。这将借鉴NOC在MAS方面的经验教训。这些研究的结论将被用来调查如何将自主系统纳入工业环境中的常规操作，并将提交给石油和天然气行业和研究界的成员并与其讨论。
