The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the development and integration of a directional wave spectra sensing module for autonomous underwater vehicle gliders. The goal is to measure the directional wave spectra from low-powered, long-duration ocean gliders. Measuring sea state is crucial for predicting ocean conditions that affect maritime operations. While components for motion sensing and analysis software are available, integrated systems for real-time sensing and onboard computation of directional spectra are still in their infancy. The Navy is looking for a fully integrated, low-power sensor that aligns with wave measurement standards. The project will involve identifying hardware components, developing a concept for onboard processing and data transfer, and planning for integration with the glider platform in Phase I. Phase II will focus on developing and testing a prototype system, including in situ validation of directional wave spectra measurements. The final prototype should include a fully integrated sensing package capable of reporting directional wave spectra parameters via glider satellite communications. The developed technology has applications in the DoD's operational glider fleet and can improve forecast accuracy and safety of navigation and operations.
