Four Projects that Code N91 support.

1.      SAMS (Subsurface Autonomous Mapping System)
https://www.navo.navy.mil/nipr_2006/sams.html The Subsurface Autonomous
Mapping System (SAMS) is a free-swimming, programmable and redirectable
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) capable of preprogrammed independent
operations from a host platform or shore facility. It is a full-ocean-depth
(6000-meter) AUV with integrated physical oceanography and bottom-mapping
sensors.

2.      Seahorse (AUV) Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
https://www.navo.navy.mil/nipr_2006/seahorse.html

The SEAHORSE-Class Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is an untethered,
unmanned, underwater robotic vehicle, capable of preprogrammed independent
operations from a host platform or shore facility. The AUV is currently
powered with alkaline batteries and can operate for 72 hours at 4 knots for
a nominal range of 300 nautical miles before requiring battery
replenishment. Typical littoral zone AUV area characterization surveys can
be conducted at operational depths of 30 to 300 meters.

3.      EARS (Environmental Acoustic Recording System)
https://www.navo.navy.mil/nipr_2006/ears.html  The Environmental Acoustic
Recording System   (EARS) is an autonomous, battery-powered, full
ocean-depth, acoustic recording system that satisfies a Navy data collection
requirement for Omni directional ocean acoustic ambient noise. This system
was designed and developed in the N91 labs.

4.      TOSS (Towed Ocean Survey System) The Towed Ocean Survey System
(TOSS) is full ocean depth (6000 Meters Plus) tethered system.  The system
is equipped with an array of collection systems.  These systems include
Video and Digital cameras, Side Scan Sonar's,  and a Sub-bottom Profiler.
