  1. Mobile Networks of Sensing Systems: toward an Interagency Glider Consortium Oscar Schofield, Mary Jane Perry, Dan Rudnick

  2. Mobile platforms have matured since the original DEOS committee and the subsequent birthing of OOI and ORION. Potential integrating technology. Critical for revolutionary advances. All coastal arrays required significant mobile sensing systems to resolve the horizontal and vertical variability. RCO also specifies mobile sensing networks. Global buoys require context that can be provided by mobile networks.

  3. Spray CalCOFI Line (one week ago) High resolution spatial time series is now

  4. Spatial time series are now Temperature fluctuations w/in pycnocline are dominated by offshore propagating signal, similar to transport signal

  5. AUV anchored short-term pioneer array demo Sampling Inside the Box: Harvard Forecast Model NLIWI, AWACS, SW06 Joint Experiment Glider Scanfish Track HU High-Res Model G5 Harvard Box (100kmx100km) G1 G2 G3 G4 Scanfish Track G6

  6. A) B) Cutting edge areas: Self-evolving networks Darwin clusters to quantify the role of humans in altering the oxidation state of continental shelves

  7. LBSF&I Partners? NAVO plans to purchase on the order of 100 Gliders over next decade because of planned needs and demonstrated capabilities Satellite data only NAVAL GOALS Tuned Parameters. Satellite and 4 gliders LBSF&I… “Transforms the warfighter’s ability to leverage environmental Battlespace Awareness for smart asset / sensor placement and operational effectiveness… end-to-end integration of “in-littoral” sensors into FORCEnet, including cohesive, net-centric information flow to tactical users.”

  8. Costs and Duration SeaGlider: Base platform + CTD + backscatter (~100K) Sensors packages: backscatter, fluorescence, oxygen, waves, average currents Duration: 4-6 months; Depth Range: 150-1000m Webb Gliders: Base platform + CTD (~75K) Sensors packages: backscatter, spectral absorption & light, fluorescence, oxygen, waves, average current, water column depth Duration: 1-2 months Depth Range: 10-200m Spray: Base platform + CTD (~50K) Sensors packages: backscatter, fluorescence, Dopler sonar, waves, water column depth, avaregae currents Duration: 5 months Depth Range: 100-1000m

  9. Development of an ONR Glider consortium In brief: Goal is to expand glider expertise, usability, availibility for ONR researchers. To be facilitated by a centralized institution (still to be determined) that manages ONR gliders being acquired by three technical centers. Each center has a fleet of specific gliders. Overseen by APL (N. Bogue) Webb Gliders (Rutgers) Spray Gliders (Scripps) Sea Gliders (UW) These are ONR assets will be available to support ONR experiments. Analogous to UNOLs asset.

  10. Global Command and Control Relatively Robust

  11. NAVO Portable Glider Control Center Linux OS Laptop Running Dockserver KeySpan Port Expander Goals also include improving: improve and standardize command & control (ease Navy transition), procedures for lithium batteries (handling etc.), improved ship operations, training and transition Email Warnings: Glider Overdue QA/QC Checks Stay Awaypoints http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/auvs/

  12. LBSF&I Synopsis/Action C3: specify Common Formats N3: Academic & Navy collaboration C4: specify functions QC Model pathway CC N5: specify format C2: specify Common Formats N1: specify functions C1: specify Common Formats Mission Monitoring Mission Planning Potential Consortium Efforts: C1: Specify common formats for command and status messages C2: Specify common formats for data output C3: Specify common formats for formats between fish and CC (handle on fish or vendor provided translator on CC; JAUS for fleet compatibility) C4: Specify CC functions Potential LBSF&I Efforts: N1: Specify MM/MP functions; Matlab user interface N2: Feedback to consortium re: software specification specification N3: Collaborative development of QC methods N4: USN compatibility N5: Specify format of environ data (NetCDF?)

  13. For ORION? -ALPS has had three organizing meetings (San Diego, Paris, Stevensville) yet is still developing its funding home. -ORION should leverage of existing efforts. How? How best to entrain the program managers or should a group go write to compete for more ORION assets (~2 million was initial ONR investment in glider fleets for the technical centers)? NOPP? PI alone? MSI? -ONR is currently less likely to loan assets, however is likely to be amenable to partnering. Might an ONR model provide a useful model for ORION researchers? Might existing consortia be expanded at lower costs?

  14. Action Items • A ORION white paper of steps forward for mobile assets to be available at the D&I workshop • Finish the mobile asset web portal for ORION web site • Continue to build ONR collaborative partnership
