Project summary
The goal of this project is development of the prototype of autonomous underwater measuring complex –small-size seabed station designed for on-line investigation of radiation and hydro physical situation in zone of sunk nuclear-powered submarines (NPS) or other nuclear-powered ships with high-toxic radioactive materials on board, for radiation-ecological monitoring of submersion sites of nuclear waste containers, for periodical radiation-ecological monitoring of important economical zones of World Ocean.The Project activities will be directed to solving these actual and important problems. In this Project a particular attention should be given to the use of modern technologies, microprocessor equipment and software allowing realization of the following advantages of the estimated complex:
- Control of the complex run is realized with the central processor using flexible software, as well as in dialog mode while data exchange;
- Multi-functionality– parallel (simultaneous) measuring and analysis of number of controlled parameters;
- Possibility to use long-term autonomous mode;
- Small size-weight of sea-bed station obtained due to optimization of all structure elements make it possible to deliver and to place rapidly the Underwater Measuring Complex;
- Possibility to deliver on demand some samples on surface using samplers equipped with special location indicator;
- Reception and transfer of data using hydro acoustic communication channel.
