The ROAZ Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) research program, focuses on marine robotics systems, namely design issues in surface autonomous robots, navigation and control problems, multiple (and eventually heterogeneous) robot coordination and environmental perception questions. The application of autonoous systems in the marine environment for scientific, security, inspection and rescue missions is addressed. Two autonomous surface robots where developed at Autonomous Systems Laboratory from ISEP - IPP (Porto Polytechnic Institute): ROAZ ASV a small size autonomous surface boat and the ocean operations ROAZ II ASV. The autonomous marine surface robots were designed for environmental monitoring, bathymetry, science data gathering, search and rescue support and security missions. The ocean capable twin-hull ROAZ II has a set of sensors, ranging from thermographic camera, sidescan sonar to CTD allowing a diversified set o missions. The vehicles have performed several real operational scenario missions, from harbor security, bathymetry, autonomous AUV docking or technical demonstration in cooperation with the Portuguese navy in NATO Swordfish 06 exercises.

The Woods Hole Science Center incorporated an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) into seafloor mapping operations in June, 2006. The ASV is designed to operate in shallow-water (1 -- 5 m) and will be used to map surficial sediment distribution and thickness, and seafloor morphology (depth). The WHSC has 'named' the vehicle IRIS (Independently (or) Remotely Influenced Surveyor). This movie also is visible at www.hydro-international.com .

De Hydrographic Society Benelux en de CEDA kwamen bij elkaar om te praten over Baggergrafie. Onder de sprekers was Clive Skelhorn van Van Oord die de relatie legde tussen baggeren en groene stroom. Daarvoor moeten ook kabels worden gelegd

SurvTech Solutions has added hydrographic surveying to our extensive services list. In this video Chris Martin & Greg Johnston demo the hydrographic equipment.

In the summer of 1941, training began for a small group of units referred to as Amphibious Scouts and Raiders, and in the spring of 1943, the first group of volunteers selected from the Naval Construction Battalions (Seabees). They were organized into special teams called "Navy Combat Demolition Units" (NCDUs) and were trained at Waimanalo, Hawai'i and Fort Pierce, Florida (the latter is the home of the Navy UDT-Seal Museum, see below for link). The units reconnoitered and cleared beach obstacles for troops going ashore during amphibious landings. They evolved into Combat Swimmer Reconnaissance Units, known as frogmen. Some of these frogmen were recruited from breath-holding divers who dived for abalones on the California coast before the war. The Navy frogmen were then sent to the top secret Camp X in Australia to train with British and Australian commandos for a possible invasion of Japan. The NCDUs distinguished themselves during World War II in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. In 1947, the Navy organized its first underwater offensive strike units. During the Korean Conflict (June 1950-June 1953) these Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) took part in the landing at Inchon as well as other missions, including demolition raids on bridges and tunnels accessible from the water. They conducted mine-sweeping operations in harbors and rivers. Each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces formed its own counterinsurgency force. The U.S. Navy's UDT personnel formed units called SEAL teams. On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy requested the U.S. Congress to authorize the establishment of the Navy SEALs. In December 1961, Navy SEALs were authorized for operations via the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh Burke. At 1300 hrs on January 1, 1962, SEAL Team ONE was commissioned in the Pacific Fleet and SEAL Team TWO in the Atlantic Fleet. These teams were developed to conduct unconventional warfare, counter-guerrilla warfare, and clandestine operations in both blue water and brown water environment. In 1963, the first Vietnam War-detachment, composing elements from SEAL Team One, was sent to Da Nang, Vietnam. They served under the command of the CIA Chief of Station. In 1964, SEALs became subject to the Commander-in-Chief (CINC) of Vietnam's theater forces. In 1967, the Naval Operations Support Groups were renamed "Naval Special Warfare Groups" (NSWGs) because of the increased perceived need for special operations by decision makers. In 1983, existing UDTs were renamed "SEAL teams", or "SEAL Delivery Vehicle Teams", and the requirement for hydrographic reconnaissance and underwater demolition became known as "SEAL missions". In 1987, SEAL team SIX became the DEVGRU (DEVelopment GRoUp). DEVGRU is still based out of Dam Neck, Virginia. On April 4, 1987, the Naval Special Warfare Command was commissioned at the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in San Diego, California. Its mission is to prepare Naval Special Warfare forces to carry out their assigned objectives and to develop special operations strategy, doctrine, and tactics. In 2002, under Operation Enduring Freedom in the Philippines, SEALs were involved in the capture and killing of a key Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) terrorist leader[citation needed]. In March 2002, SEALs were involved in Operation Anaconda in the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, and in March 2003 participated in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

RESON SeaBat 7125 multibeam sonar surveys the Oslo Fiord in Norway in 2007. The wreck of the Blücher, which was a German heavy cruiser sunk during the World War II, lies on 75 meter depth.

We also get to see a short video montage of the wild animals at Busch Gardens Tampa, Florida. Enjoy this months newsletter!

RESON SeaBat 8125 multibeam sonar survey in Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour)in year 1999. TSS Currajong sank in 1910 after being hit amidship by SS Wyreema near Bradleys Head. Currajong was a 603 tons, three masted steamer built to carry passengers. It was 67.6 metres long and 9 metres wide.

Dramatic transfering people between ships in rough sea. --- Operation Highjump (OpHjp), officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-47, was a United States Navy operation organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd in Antarctica under the command of Richard Cruzen, which was launched on 26 August 1946 and lasted until 1947. The massive Antarctic task force included 4,700 men, 13 ships, and multiple aircraft. The stated claims of the operation were as follows to train personnel and test material in the frigid zones to consolidate and extend American sovereignty over the largest practical area of the Antarctic continent to determine the feasibility of establishing and maintaining bases in the Antarctic and to investigate possible base sites to develop techniques for establishing and maintaining air bases on the ice, with particular attention to the later applicability of such techniques to operations in interior Greenland. (where, it was then believed, physical and climatic conditions resembled those in Antarctica) to amplify existing knowledge of hydrographic, geographic, geological, meteorological and electromagnetic conditions in the area.
