  1. Project ProposalProject 7: Drifters Lance Ellerbe - BS EE Jamal Maduro - BS CpE Peter Rivera - BS ME Anthony Sabido - BS ME

  2. Presentation Overview • Project Scope and Description • Legacy Drifter • Goals • Components • System Design • Hull • Testing and Fabrication

  3. Project Scope • Develop a self-contained network of tracked surface drifters for near coastal application. • Housing • Electronics • Any of these drifters within range of the base station will then be able to send all the information from all other drifters, thus providing a self-contained drifter network. • Many such drifters are deployed globally by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as part of the world climate observation program.
