Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking a complete portable uncrewed surface vessel (USV) surveying system. The system should include a primary boat hull, electronics and communication suites, field safety maintenance spares, a pre-integrated high-resolution multibeam echosounder subsystem, secondary hydrographic sensors, and professional equipment operation training. The system will be used for hydrographic surveying and will require specific brand name equipment, including R2Sonic 2020-V Plus MBES and Teledyne RiverPro Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
• The system must be fully integrated and ready to use, with all necessary components and training included.
• The system must meet specific technical requirements, including dimensions, weight, endurance, propulsion, and telemetry.
• The system must include a pre-integrated high-resolution multibeam echosounder subsystem and secondary hydrographic sensors.
• The system must be delivered to the NOAA Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping in Durham, NH.
