Description
This program addresses the need for a compact meteorological sensing capability to measure wind speed, humidity and temperature and pressure as a function of height above the water surface for use aboard a submersible platform. There is an additional need for simultaneous measurements of the temperature at the sea/air interface. Aret in collaboration with Applied Physical Sciences (APS) propose a solution consisting active EO sensing and point detectors suitable for mounting to a submersible platform. The system will combine technology previously developed at Aret and APS in a novel combination, resulting in a compact, low-power, low-cost system. The Phase-I effort will demonstrate the most critical technology combinations and result in validated system models to support the design and fabrication of a Phase-II prototype.
