Okeanos Explorer (EX1904): 2019 Technology Demonstrations
Description
Operations will include the use of the ship's deep-water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM 302 multibeam sonar, EK split-beam fisheries sonars, Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar, and Teledyne Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers), XBTs in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations, the two-body ROV system Deep Discoverer and Seirios, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for continuous real-time ship-to-shore communications. Technology demonstrations will include an integration/shakedown a REMUS 600 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), deployment of a towed Kraken Robotics Katfish with Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), integration of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 360 degree camera on Deep Discoverer, integration/testing of a Kraken Robotics SeaVision laser scanner on ROV Deep Discoverer and integration/testing of a One Way Travel Time Inverted Ultra Short Baseline (OWTTIUSBL) from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on ROV Deep Discoverer. Operations are planned throughout the Northeast U.S. Continental Margin and on the Northeast U.S. continental shelf off of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
