The NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Coast Survey (OCS) Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping (COE) requires a highly portable, space-saving underway profiling suite for use on small survey craft and vessels of opportunity. BACKGROUND: The Center of Excellence (COE) requires a fully integrated, turnkey, highly portable, and rapidly deployable underway profiling system to directly support the education and training of the hydrographic workforce. This turnkey system must provide a complete, out-of-the-box solution that allows personnel to rapidly mobilize and configure a Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) for continuous water column data collection. This hands-on capability is critical for developing operational proficiency and maintaining instructional readiness in modern hydrographic survey techniques. Furthermore, this must be a fully functional, practical, and usable system for surveyors, ensuring that personnel receive realistic, industry-standard experience with underway profiling equipment. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The operational requirements for this system are: It must include all required components to mobilize on a typical vessel-of-opportunity (winch, davit, control box, logging instrument, sensors, and software). The system must be highly portable and capable of being deployed by a small team, specifically tailored for instructional environments and use on smaller survey vessels. The resulting data must meet or exceed NOAA s highest hydrographic quality specification ( Exceptional ) as outlined in the Hydrographic Surveys Specifications and Deliverables. System mobilization, from packaged to deployed on a typical vessel-of-opportunity, must be achievable in a rapid timeframe by a practiced team with common hand tools. The system must be delivered turn-key and ready for deployment. (Qty - 1) Underway Profiling System. Includes Davit, Winch, Control Box and Software, and Spares Kit.
