Researchers will evaluate and test the performance of their technique (range, accuracy, and data throughput) first in a 30-foot-deep acoustic test tank at FAU, and then in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Dania Beach at FAU's Institute for Ocean and Systems Engineering (SeaTech).

Undersea Wireless Surveillance Testbed

The grant will help develop novel real-time undersea wireless communications and surveillance technology.

These are prototypes of two FAU unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) or robotic boats working cooperatively in close proximity on a busy waterway.

Robotic Boats Have a 'Mind of Their Own'

Robotic boats that can move, think, and make decisions on their own may be closer than you think.
