Marine measuring network
Our newly formed Systems Engineering team develops modularised hardware and software modules for measurement platforms above and under water, and makes them available to the scientific and engineering community. The focus of our work is on real-time data transfer between different networked platforms and land-based systems, as well as providing solutions for standard marine engineering tasks.
To provide robust and reliable modules, we are working with other ORTC technical departments to develop harmonised workflows and specifications for the sustainable design, development and operation of maritime infrastructure equipment. We are also working with our colleagues on the modularisation and standardisation of payloads for different platform types to facilitate the use of sensors and instruments on different platforms.
We act as a point of contact for the scientific community, advising on the design and implementation of complex and networked measurement systems as part of ongoing projects and project proposals.
