Project aboard
Our team intends to conduct an acoustic comms test utilizing two 2 surface expressions (Slocum Gliders) and two 2 moored-bottom nodes. The primary objective will be following the deployments where we are planning a 10 to 14 day equipment soak. This allows for longer duration testing, and multiple glider pattern evolutions. For this part 1 of a multi-part trip we anticipate a two 1 day mobilization, followed by a short transit (2 to 4 hours). 2 days of recovery activities, and return to port for a 1 day demobilization of the vessel.
