Future scientific and technological efforts to achieve better understanding of oceans and water-related applications will rely heavily on our ability to jointly consider communications, actuation and sensing in a unified system that includes instruments, vehicles, human operators and sensors of all types. The goals of this project are to design networking tools for mobile underwater networks, develop novel navigation mechanisms for communication-constrained autonomous underwater vehicles and to ultimately integrate sensing and classification to provide solutions for the exploration-exploitation tradeoff.This project will lead to development of underwater communication methods with applications to science, security, and industry in the areas of environmental monitoring, aquatic eco-system analysis, ocean accident remediation, surveillance for defense applications, homeland security, oil and gas, aquaculture, geological and oceanographic science, and marine biology. It will also contribute to the training of new information technology professionals and scientists with expertise in interdisciplinary research spanning underwater networks, oceanography and computer science.

未来更好地了解海洋和与水相关的应用的科技努力将在很大程度上依赖于我们在一个统一系统中共同考虑通信、驱动和传感的能力，该系统包括仪器、车辆、人类操作员和所有类型的传感器。该项目的目标是设计用于移动水下网络的网络工具，为通信受限的自主水下航行器开发新颖的导航机制，并最终集成传感和分类，为勘探-开发权衡提供解决方案。该项目将导致开发水下通信方法，应用于环境监测、水生生态系统分析、海洋事故补救、国防应用监视、国土安全、石油和天然气、水产养殖、地质和海洋科学以及海洋等领域的科学、安全和工业生物学。它还将有助于培训新的信息技术专业人员和科学家，他们具有水下网络、海洋学和计算机科学等跨学科研究的专业知识。
