> 1.) A short description of what your payload/project is doing.

We are using the wet wi-fi payload as well as the benthos modem for acoustic tracking of underwater assets. We’d like to use an ASV to track a submerged LRAUV robustly so as to enable transmission of data (even imagery) between the two platforms.

6 months would be the longest deployments we’d like to do.

We can be mostly local. Someday I’d like to do work in the Indian Ocean.

Our instrument is autonomous.

> 7.) Do you need to deploy the ASV outside of Moss Landing (e.g. take it with you for expeditions)?

Yes, at some point in the future but not imminently.

> 8.) Would you want to pilot the ASV yourself or would you want ASO to handle the piloting?

ASO

Not really. I imagine that Giancarlo would have a lot of requirements
