Research abstract
Drawing from existing COTS/MOTS systems, we propose to develop a broad tool kit of undersea, in-air, and satellite communications systems that are tailored to the unique capabilities and constraints of the autonomous, mobile, and persistent Wave Glider wave-propelled unmanned surface vehicle (USV). These systems will enable the Wave Glider platform to serve as a communications/navitation network node (CN3) and to direct address a variety of military missions, including MCM, ASW, ISR, maritime security, maritime interdiction, and SOF/IW support.
