1. Demonstration of the basic functionalities of AUV System developed for BONUS SEAMOUNT project – new innovative underwater vehicle system for detection, monitoring and studying submarine groundwater discharge and associated nutrient fluxes. BONUS SEAMOUNT technology integrates and optimizes sensors in bionic underwater vehicles of versatile character, adaptable to the objectives and characteristics of each mission. AUVs are equipped with innovative NOA DRIVE bionic propulsion system for improved AUV payload capacity and maneuverability. After completing the development the BONUS SEAMOUNT system will be used for simultaneous inspection of the seabed and the water column in order to obtain complex data, relevant for the understanding of the implications of the seabed morphology and geological characteristics on the occurrence of submarine groundwater discharge.
2. Demonstration of underwater sensor network. Two underwater multiparameter probes, used as sources of sensor data integrated with underwater acoustic modems, will be requested via underwater acoustic network to transmit recent measurements of several selected water parameters. The sensor data will be delivered via the network using different networking scenarios. The network will represent a set of stationary and mobile underwater acoustic network nodes. The operation of the network will be visualized on a large TV screen at the coastal operation center.
3. Demonstration of one of the special network modes – long baseline positioning mode. The nodes of the underwater acoustic network will be used for position estimation of unmanned vehicle SONOBOT moving in the coverage zone of the underwater network nodes (baseline nodes). The operation of the vehicle and the network will be visualized on a large TV screen at the coastal operation center.
4. Demonstration of basic functionalities of the SYMBIOSIS system. – A holistic opto-acoustic non-invasive system to monitor coastal and deep waters for fish stock, and to assess the environmental health by monitoring key pelagic fish species. Demonstration of the prototype will include separately the operation of its underwater optical part (synchronized underwater flash light and camera operations), as well as its underwater acoustic part (operation of the software defined USBL modules).
