“The idea behind Seaweb,” says Rear Adm. Philip Sawyer, commander of U.S. submarine forces in the Pacific, is “to network various nodes through the undersea environment and be able to tap that data and bring it where you want, whether it’s Singapore or San Diego.”

DARPA wants industry to suggest system-of-systems architectures appropriate for networked operations at sea. Researchers are interested in standards, technologies and architectures; critical network functions; how to integrate new networking capability with current platforms; design methodologies; the most effective maritime platforms, sensors and effects packages; reliable and specialized autonomous unmanned systems; how to deliver off-board systems to contested areas quickly and affordably; tools for managing distributed maritime systems and networks; information assurance; and how to use networks to deny and disrupt enemy maritime networks.

The PLUS system consists of an undersea network of “sea gliders” and long-endurance Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs). The UUVs perform as autonomous vessels with long underwater dwell times that carry highly capable sensors. The sea gliders are smaller autonomous vessels that collect the UUV data, and return to the surface to transmit that data to a shore-based collection and processing station.

The partners succeeded in programming and running a fleet of vehicles, performing CPF (Cooperative Path Following) maneuvers of the USVs and ROF (Range Only Formation) maneuvers of the AUVs. To demonstrate the system’s efficiency, the experiments were performed with different sets of marine vehicles from different MORPH partners – six vehicles overall.

EvoLogics’ new solution is a real-time emulator of the S2CR-series underwater acoustic modems. This tool is aimed at optimizing underwater network protocol development by taking out expensive modem hardware from the early testing stages – it emulates all features of the modem’s data-link protocol layer and includes a simulator of the physical protocol layer.
