This project focuses on developing ruggedized, submerged electronics designed for direct integration within Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The Firm's current objective is, therefore, to perform research and development for hardware and software configurations to integrate ROAM in AUV payload chambers.

The goal of the project is to develop a new spatial modulation and digital transducer control technology in order to further improve the throughputs of Marecomms' AQUABAND technology.
This project entails the development of a low-cost, low-power hydrophone system with digitization taking place on the edge. More specifically, the project focuses of developing a state-of-the-art, cost-effective digital underwater acoustic receiver.
In this project, we wish to prove that we can achieve 30 Kilobits/s at 750 m of horizontal shallow-water range at an underwater power consumption of 8 Watts or less with up to 4 hydrophone elements. When presented to the offshore inspection market, this new technology will eliminate the requirement for ship-borne inspection. Thus, the size of crew and time spent on boats will be significantly reduced, saving large amounts of money.
In this project, Marecomms will investigate near-optimal source compression schemes for underwater video transmissions in horizontal environments.
In this project, we will work on the development of software to use the dual frequency modems with an emphasis on versatile transmission capability. Specifically, the software will be capable of switching the transmissions between the Left-Channel or Right-Channels based on the desired transmission frequency without any work on the hardware. We will account for a wide range of frequencies between 19 KHz to 60 KHz. This will enable us to build on the versatile, broad frequency modem hardware that we have researched and developed and bring us closer to transmitting visuals under the water in nea
In this project, our objective is to perform the preliminary work to transform our existing software-defined modem environment into a lower-complexity one. Specifically, we will perform the required research and development to assess how much power can be saved if we run our modem software on a light-weight operating system.
Engage technical expertise for hardware integration
Engage science and software expertise to further develop software and hardware technology
The project goal is to increase the power efficiency, connection speed and communication range of our current near-production prototype. One aspect of the project is exploring a new power distribution and control method using subsea battery packs. Another aspect is to use multiple transducer elements at the transmit side and leverage transmit spatial diversity. This will lead to a more favourable trade-off between connection speed and reliability, which in turn, will enable the user of our system to accomplish higher transmission distances at larger throughputs.
