>> ASV survey:
>>
>>
>> 1.) A short description of what your payload/project is doing.
Doing:
- data mule
- acoustic gateway
- acoustic SAR/geolocation
- autonomous range only asset tracking/following
- autonomous USBL asset tracking/following
- AUV launch
Going to be doing:
- intervention
- surface inspection
- subsurface inspection
- AUV recovery

>>
>> 2.) How big is your payload (size and weight)
Variable but currently fits on waveglider SV3s
>>
>> 3.) What are the power requirements of your payload (input voltage, max power
>> consumed, duty cycle while out at sea)
Variable but 60w burst, max voltage 48. Duty cycle dependent on conditions. Can be seconds to minutes.
>>
>> 4.) For how long do you need to stay out at sea for a single deployment?
1 hour to 1 month
>>
>> 5.) How far away from Moss Landing do you need the ASV to go for your
>> deployments?
0-160nm with the ability for potential shipping to locations for remote work.
>>
>> 6.) Is your instrument autonomous or does it need constant remote
>> monitoring/control? What are your bandwidth requirements for that?
Semi-autonomous depending on application. Requires the ability to backseat drive the ASV. OTH comms via Iridium are adequate with cell nearshore.
>>
>> 7.) Do you need to deploy the ASV outside of Moss Landing (e.g. take it with you
>> for expeditions)?
Yes see above.
>>
>> 8.) Would you want to pilot the ASV yourself or would you want ASO to handle the
>> piloting?
Either way
>>
>> 9.) Do you know of any particular ASV models that you think will work well for
> > your research?
Currently investigating:
AutoNaut
SeaSats
