Science and Technology Challenges and Potential Game-changing Opportunities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2011)
The future of naval engineering in the 21st century will be shaped by novel and emerging technologies that will not only provide unprecedented capabilities but also require radical rethinking of naval ship and vehicle ...
Architectural Model to Enable Power System Tradeoff Studies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2011)
We continue the development of an overall architectural model for an all-electric ship using a physics-based simulation environment to perform fully-integrated simulation of electrical, hydrodynamic, thermal, and structural ...
Temperature and Salinity Tolerances Predict Range Expansion for Two Invasive Marine Invertebrates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009-05)
Aquatic invasions of nonindigenous species have increased dramatically due to the globalization of consumer goods, which relies on shipping to connect once isolated marine environments (Bright 1999, Barbier and Shogren ...
Towards amphibious robots: Asymmetric flapping foil motion underwater produces large thrust efficiently
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
The development of amphibious robots requires actuation that enables them to crawl as well as swim; sea turtles are excellent examples of amphibious functionality, that can serve as the biomimetic model for the development ...
Architectural Model to Enable Power System Tradeoff Studies (PPT presentation)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2011)
Reconfigurable Modem for Ocean Observatories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2005)
Acoustic communications is an important part of underwater research. The mass amount of data collected by sub-sea devices can be made available to the scientific community in real-time with the utilization of acoustic modems.
Marine Invaders in the Northeast: Rapid Assessment Survey of Non-native and Native Marine Species of Floating Dock Communities, August 2003
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2005)
In his seminal book on The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants, Elton (1958) laid the foundation for the science of biological invasions. He identified the importance of human-mediated vectors as means of transporting ...
Dual Ring Bus Electrical Distribution System for US Navy Destroyer- and Frigate-sized Vessels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2012-12)
In response to a Request for Information from the Office of Naval Research regarding electrical architectures to be considered in an architecture evaluation study for two candidate hull forms including a 10,000 ton ...
Adapting a Survey-Class AUV for High Resolution Seafloor Imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2005)
Over the past four years, development work at the MIT AUV Lab focused on a vehicle that is now almost a decade old. “Xanthos,” one of the last surviving examples of the venerable Odyssey II series of AUVs (developed at MIT ...
AUVNetSim: a Simulator for Underwater Acoustics Networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2008-05)
AUVNetSim is a simulation library for testing acoustic networking algorithms. It is written in Python and makes extensive use of the SimPy discrete event simulation package. AUVNetSim is interesting for both end users and ...
