Research questions• How can WaveGliders become operational assets to support NPS research?• How can distributed teams monitor and control a remote asset
collaboratively using a mix of OPCON centers and Web-based access?• How can collected data assets be coherently recorded, archived, visualized
and reused over the long term, supporting student research and operational analysis?
• How might at-sea operations by unmanned systems best complement on-land research efforts being conducted quarterly by NPS and external partners in the Joint Interoperability Field Experiment (JIFX) series?
• What combination of network protocols best support distributed collaboration efforts? Can such approaches mimic the functionality of Navy test ranges or be adapted by Navy laboratories?
• What future steps are appropriate to steadily grow the capabilities and maximize the opportunities afforded by long-duration at-sea testing using the WaveGlider UUV in concert with other NPS unmanned systems (space, airborne, surface and submerged)?
Operating range
Project Milestone Tasks
• Task 1: Site Visits, Identify Data Requirements and Literature Review
• Task 2: Support Preparation • Task 3: Initial Operations • Task 4: Present Initial Findings• Task 5: Coastal Transits, Regular Operations• Task 6: Reports, In-Progress Reviews (IPR)• Task 7: Deliver Final Presentation and Report
Current activities
• Lab visit, 1 of 2 vehicles on board• 9 DEC, visit Liquid Robotics Mountain View• Website: NPS wiki (internal at first)• Identify overlapping goals, requirements• Build calendar of milestones, goal missions• Build list of potential purchases, etc.• Regular meeting schedule
Mission planning 2014
• Support NPS science missions• Explore multiple technologies and techniques
for mission preparation, operations, and post-mission data archiving (Brutzman, Davis)
• San Francisco Bay, Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) Exercises (Bordetsky)
• Port Hueneme – Homeland Defense and Mine Warfare Exercises (Jaeger)
NPS-KAIST mission in 2015?
• This robot can go very very far• Our primary 2014 goal at NPS is to show
regular operations without risk or difficulty• Perhaps we should consider proposing a joint
proposal for a trans-Pacific mission in 2015?
