The proposed planning activity seeks to undertake planning of the establishment of a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Smart Ocean Technology at the University of Connecticut and the University of Washington. The proposed Center seeks to promote and harness robust technological advances in computing, communication, control, devices, instrumentation and platforms that have the potential to provide persistent observation and exploration capabilities for aquatic environments. A distinguishing feature of the proposed center is the emphasis on integration of intelligence/awareness (e.g. `smart) at various levels of underwater systems design in order to achieve the agility necessary for the desired robustness, persistence and cost efficiencies.The planned center intends to focus on creating novel technologies in the areas of communication, power, sensing, and platform systems for the ocean application domain. The resulting systems and the insights they produce about the ocean will inform technical and policy efforts in areas of global impact such as weather/climate, food resources, and sustainability. The center plans to have a significant impact on students via interdisciplinary research engagement. Further, educational outreach to various community organizations (schools and science/technology museums, notably) is expected based on products - data, images and streaming video - resulting from the work conducted at the center.

拟议的规划活动旨在规划在康涅狄格大学和华盛顿大学建立一个新的智能海洋技术产学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）。拟议的中心旨在促进和利用计算、通信、控制、设备、仪器和平台方面的强大技术进步，这些技术有可能为水生环境提供持续的观测和探索能力。 拟议中心的一个显着特点是强调在水下系统设计的各个层面上集成智能/意识（例如“智能”），以实现所需的稳健性、持久性和成本效率所需的敏捷性。规划的中心旨在专注于在海洋应用领域的通信、电力、传感和平台系统领域创造新技术。 由此产生的系统及其产生的有关海洋的见解将为天气/气候、粮食资源和可持续性等具有全球影响的领域的技术和政策工作提供信息。该中心计划通过跨学科研究参与对学生产生重大影响。此外，预计将根据该中心工作产生的数据、图像和流媒体视频等产品，向各种社区组织（特别是学校和科学/技术博物馆）进行教育推广。
