00:03.179 --> 00:06.142
(water splashes)

00:06.142 --> 00:08.809
(sonar screech)

00:12.400 --> 00:15.740
- At ANTX 19, the Naval
Oceanography mine warfare center

00:15.740 --> 00:18.720
is collaborating with vendors
and research institutions

00:18.720 --> 00:22.030
to test and demonstrate new
and exciting technologies

00:22.030 --> 00:25.140
in the world of underwater
positioning and sensing.

00:25.140 --> 00:27.580
This year our objective is threefold.

00:27.580 --> 00:29.030
First, we want to demonstrate

00:29.030 --> 00:31.670
an autonomous underwater vehicle,
analyzing the water column

00:31.670 --> 00:33.660
for chemical and biological tracers

00:33.660 --> 00:35.770
to develop concentration profiles.

00:35.770 --> 00:37.920
These concentration profiles, in turn,

00:37.920 --> 00:40.690
provide the chemical distribution
and dispersion patterns

00:40.690 --> 00:41.880
in the marine environment,

00:41.880 --> 00:44.460
to help assist with
chemical identification.

00:44.460 --> 00:47.390
Secondly, we will be testing
unmanned underwater vehicle,

00:47.390 --> 00:49.440
or UUV communication system,

00:49.440 --> 00:51.880
that has the ability to
enhance command and control

00:51.880 --> 00:54.040
of multiple underwater vehicles.

00:54.040 --> 00:56.700
Thirdly, we will set up a
micro weather sensor device

00:56.700 --> 00:59.790
that will develop full and
continuous METAR observations

00:59.790 --> 01:01.480
over the entire demonstration,

01:01.480 --> 01:03.840
improving our situational awareness.

01:03.840 --> 01:06.320
This data will also be
evaluated for ingestion

01:06.320 --> 01:08.170
into the naval meteorological models

01:08.170 --> 01:10.730
to increase our understanding
of the physical battle space

01:10.730 --> 01:13.349
and to help derive a tactical advantage.

01:13.349 --> 01:14.490
- [Howell Walls]
Intellisense mounted their

01:14.490 --> 01:17.230
micro weather sensor in
the operational area.

01:17.230 --> 01:19.680
This weather sensor
provides full and continuous

01:19.680 --> 01:22.590
METAR data to increase
our situational awareness.

01:22.590 --> 01:25.100
An Aviate Oceanography Mine Warfare Center

01:25.100 --> 01:27.970
deployed a buoy containing
a fluorescent compound

01:27.970 --> 01:29.700
into the operational area.

01:29.700 --> 01:33.300
The Naval Research Lab
deployed the Wanda III AUV

01:33.300 --> 01:36.800
to analyze the water column
in the area of that buoy.

01:36.800 --> 01:39.320
The Wanda III detects
the fluorescent compound

01:39.320 --> 01:42.200
and develops a concentration profile

01:42.200 --> 01:44.070
of the operational area.

01:44.070 --> 01:45.870
This concentration profile feeds

01:45.870 --> 01:48.860
into the Wanda III's
maneuvering algorithm.

01:48.860 --> 01:52.000
The environmental data from
the micro weather sensor

01:52.000 --> 01:54.270
will be used for post mission analysis

01:54.270 --> 01:56.496
of the Wanda III's performance.

01:56.496 --> 01:58.535
- [Lt. Travis Miller] Autonomous
environmental sensing,

01:58.535 --> 02:01.490
UUV acoustic communications
for command and control,

02:01.490 --> 02:03.380
and high tech weather observations,

02:03.380 --> 02:05.290
will ensure that the METAR community

02:05.290 --> 02:08.120
maintains our tactical advantage
for the United States Navy.

02:08.120 --> 02:09.444
It starts with us.

02:09.444 --> 02:10.705

02:10.705 --> 02:12.956

02:12.956 --> 02:15.703
