The Underwater Vehicles Laboratory of the M.I.T. Sea Grant College Program will purchase equipment to enhance the communication, navigation, sensor and control capabilities of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The equipment will be used for research and development of AUVs as oceanographic research platforms. Six missions have been chosen to direct this effort. They include the investigation of plate tectonics and spreading centers through the study of the Earth's magnetic field in the Atlantic Ridge and the Antarctic, the search for cold-seeps in Monterey Bay, the study of the algae pilayella littoralis, the development of geophysical navigation methods, and the mechanics of Arctic ice. Work on a test-bed AUV at the MIT Underwater Vehicles Laboratory has demonstrated the feasibility of such a vehicle. The availability of this equipment will facilitate the laboratory's long range plan to provide these AUVs for use as research tools.

M.I.T.的水下车辆实验室Sea Grant College计划将购买设备，以增强自动水下车辆（AUV）的通信，导航，传感器和控制功能。 该设备将用于研究和开发AUV作为海洋学研究平台。 选择了六个任务来指导这项工作。 其中包括通过研究大西洋山脊和南极的地球磁场对板块构造和扩散中心的研究，在蒙特雷湾寻找冷seeps，研究藻类pilayella littoralis的研究，地球物理导航方法的发展，以及北极冰的力学。 在麻省理工学院水下车辆实验室的测试床AUV上的工作证明了这种车辆的可行性。 该设备的可用性将促进实验室的远程计划，以提供这些AUV作为研究工具。
