Monterey Accelerated Research System

P.I.McNutt，Marcia(MBARI)提案#：0222650提案标题：MARS：高功率、高带宽、地区性有线观测站的试验台项目总结PI建议完成设计，然后在蒙特利湾安装一个先进的有线观测台，作为未来有线海洋观测站的工程试验台。蒙特利加速研究系统(MARS)有线天文台将利用尖端的电力和通信技术，为多学科的深海现场勘探、观测和实验提供远程、连续、长期、高功率、大带宽的基础设施。火星将位于蒙特利湾近海的蒙特利湾水族馆研究所(MBARI)，并将在62公里的海底电缆上包括一个科学节点，未来将具有扩展更多节点的能力。据提议，科学节点将提供4个科学端口，每个端口将有一个100兆比特每秒的双向遥测通道。该节点将能够向4个端口提供总计10千瓦的电力。“延伸”电缆可以插入任何科学端口，使用最具成本效益的部署工具提供距离原始节点100公里的电力和通信，这些部署工具包括MBARI的ROV、机遇船或联合国日内瓦办事处的I、II、III或IV级舰队船只。MARS将利用过去几十年为高可靠性潜艇通信和军事系统开发的工具、技术和产品，以确保该系统可以以最小的生命周期成本在30年的寿命内运行。

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.
