Autonomous Marine Environmental Monitoring System (AMEMS)$733Kvalue2022start2024end

The project is to create an environmental monitoring system to meet the requirements of the offshore construction industry. This will combine a small, deployable, autonomous platform and potentially a fixed mooring, suitable for high flow environments once the project is finished and becomes operational. The mobile system will be deployable from unmanned surface vehicles and capable of moving from one site to another quickly and autonomously. In addition, the system will offer the fusion of acoustic data from the underwater sensors with visual data from cameras on a surface expression. This al

Generation 4 (G4) Ocean Acoustic Observing System$458Kvalue2019start2021end

JASCO wants to update its autonomous acoustic data recording devices and to add real-time, in-situ monitoring systems for in-situ processing to derive desired informational products. The Firm's clients want JASCO to telemeter this information to shore via cellular, VHF, WiFi, Iridium, cabled networks, and acoustic modems. We need to warehouse, process, and visualize extremely large volumes of acoustic data and derived informational products. JASCO must add new and improved signal processing algorithms to automate detection, identification, localization, and measurement of sounds in the ocean (
