OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU&#8217;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; &#160;
Description: The USGS Water Mission Area (WMA) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research and development in underwater swarming technology and wireless data transmissions with aquatic vehicles. The applications of these technologies are of interest to NGWOS. Using a fleet of coordinated autonomous underwater vehicles, also known as underwater swarming, enables the collection of new types of measurements, and it enhances temporal and spatial sampling resolutions that are needed for advanced modeling. Wireless data transmission capabilities support efficient field operations.
