SiS - Project Contribution
- Development of a set of small HF-beacons with low power consumption for the detection of
the beacon's position. This equipment serves as a monitor of moorings and buoys and enables
the retrieval of systems in case of loss.
- Development of a "Smart Sensor" concept. The prototype will be a high precision temperature
compensated pressure sensor. By adaption of a suitable standard (e.g.
IEEE Std 1451P) SiS works
on the leading edge of technology in close cooperation with
international movements towards
standardized underwater "plug-and-work systems".
- Analysis and practical assessment of data-communication systems, including satellite systems.
This analysis is the basics for the follow-on activities leading to components of a worldwide
operating ocean observing system.
